France - Verget du Sud Rosé de la Terre 2018

The old vine depth of fruit provides a complexity not seen in most Chardonnay - there is always more to find in the wine without it being overworked or over-blown

Very fine tannins but a big wine

Chateau Rauzan-Gassies, 2ème G.C.C, 1855 Margaux 1998 jean-luc-mader France - Verget du Sud"Allocation only, email wine@worldwine. com. au to secure allocation" The 1998 Rauzan Gassies is somewhat tannic, austere and rustic, but dense ruby purple, yet possesses some serious concentration and body. The angularity and astringency of the tannins are a distraction, raising doubts about whether this wine will ever fully come together. However, it has plenty of up side potential and will keep and evolve.
