    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This is archetypal Margaux; layers of blackcurrant, blackberry and blue fruits overlaid by iris, rose, violets and cedar. Now at close to a decade old it is starting to show some tertiary notes of leather, dried leaves and ceps. There is a decadent creamy saltiness to this, that also shows glimpses of game, sous bois and briary. Drinking beautifully now but capable of developing further with more time in bottle.

    The 2016 Ségla is drinking beautifully. Black cherries, cassis and violets on the nose immediately nail this as a Margaux, quite plush and seductive. The palate has wonderful balance and saturated tannins. It’s silky smooth with a sweet but poised finish that slips down the throat with ease. This is exactly what second labels should be for.

    Always a consistently impressive 2nd wine, one to to look out for and especially so in exceptional vintages like 2016. You'll find more marked acidity in Segla than Rauzan Ségla in the 2016, giving it a juicy mouthfeel, very much ready to enjoy, with blueberry and redcurrant fruits along with gourmet cocoa bean and liquorice notes. This wine was first introduced in the 1960s, rebranded in 1989, from plots planted on Terraces 3 and 5 (unlike the first wine, which is from largely Terrace 4).
