At the time of writing the wine is very youthful and tight but it still has ample fruit sweetness that will only become more accessible as the wine matures in bottle

The aromatics are layered with dark fruit and spices with a slight lift from whole bunches in the ferment

layered wine

Chateau Rauzan-Gassies, 2ème G.C.C, 1855 Margaux 1999 moreau-naudet At the time of writing"Allocation only, email wine@worldwine. com. au to secure allocation" ROBERT PARKER (87) The 1999 is the finest Rauzan Gassies I have tasted. Cassis liqueur intermixed with earth, asphalt, prunes, black tea, and spice box aromas jump from the glass of this dark ruby purple colored effort. The acidity is low, the concentration level impressive, and the wine beautifully textured with all of its elements nicely integrated.
