Chateau Rauzan-Gassies 2eme Cru Classe, Margaux 2017

The 2017 Rauzan Gassies is expressive and full of energy, but also done in a somewhat compact style. Dried cherry, iron, mint, white pepper, grilled herbs, cedar and tobacco come together in the glass. I very much like the wine's energy, even if the contours are a bit austere today. The 2017 could turn out to be even better than this note suggests if the tannin soften.
