2005 Rauzan-Gassies, Margaux This wine shows quite aSignificantly better from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2005 Rauzan Gassies appears to be the finest wine this estate has ever produced. Dense purple hued with a beautiful perfume of camphor, creme de cassis, licorice, bay leaf, and incense, it is a full bodied, stunningly concentrated, broad, rich Margaux with lovely integrated tannins. This backward 2005 will handsomely repay cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2014 2030+. (RP)
