"The 2016 Rauzan-Gassies has a rather lean bouquet, quite earthy in style and needing more fruit intensity to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, but it does lack substance on the finish. Another frustrating wine from this Margaux property."

"The 2016 Rauzan Gassies is powerful, dense, but also a bit rough around the edges. I had hoped élevage would take care of some of the harder contours the wine showed en primeur, but, sadly, it did not. Tobacco, herbs, licorice and game notes add to the wine's distinctly burly profile."

"The 2016 Rauzan Gassies is powerful and dense, but also a touch rustic and rough around the edges. Smoke, leather, tobacco and grilled herbs make up the distinctive flavor signatures, and the wine offers good depth in the glass, although some hard contours remain. There is plenty to look forward to, even if the tannins are a bit forbidding today."
