Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

This wine has a densely tannic structure and ripe berry fruits that are just beginning to shine. Acidity, spice and richness suggest this has good aging potential. It should be held until 2024.

This is a powerful, dense wine. Tannins come through strongly as does the dynamic black fruit. Likely to develop slowly, the wine's concentration is impressive. Drink from 2024.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

Deep in color, this wine is violets, licorice, coffee bean, thyme and ripe red fruits which take no effort to find. The wine is luxurious, concentrated and bright with a texture that feels like the deep fruits were polished with velvet. On the palate, there is a sweetness and juicy quality to the fruit combined with energy and a kiss of oak. Give this a decade or just a bit longer and this beauty will really shine. The wine was produced from blending 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, reaching 13.0% alcohol with a pH of 3.68. The harvest took place September 12 to September 28. The Grand Vin was made from 55% of the harvest.

Scheduled to be bottled at the end of May, the 2017 Rauzan-Ségla offers a pretty, elegant style as well as lively notes of ripe cherries, black raspberries, cassis, and some spicy oak. It’s medium to full-bodied, has a wonderful sweetness of fruit, fine tannins, and is loaded with charm. It’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet, like all the wines here, it will keep for 2-3 decades. Maturity 2021-2051

James Suckling

This is tight and focused with a super precise palate of blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of flowers. Full body, linear tannins and a long finish. Points: 94-95

There’s a very balanced feel to this wine with ripe blueberries and red plums, as well as dried flowers. The palate has a supple, smooth build of rich, blueberry and cassis flavor and a long, fine-tannin finish. A blend of 62% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot and 2% petit verdot.

Jacques Perrin - Vinifera

Très beau nez floral, fruité, mûr et crémeux, de dimension racée et aristocratique, qui précède une bouche de très belle pulpe, pleine, sans fausse note ni pointe faible, avec une fraîcheur idéale, c’est un exemple pour le millésime.
