2005 Château Rauzan-Gassies, Cru Classé Margaux
The nose makes an immediate impact with a rush of ripe curranty, fruit. Bright, crisp and laden with fruit. Lighter in body than some but this doesn’t detract from the deliciously pure, elegant style of Gassies this year. The 2004 vintage was our first purchase of the Château’s wine for many years and we are pleased to see that the quality achieved last year was not a one-off success.
