Medium to light ruby, with some noticeable brown in the color, this wine, which was made during a dreadful period for Rauzan-Segla, still has some life to it. The herbaceous, cedary bouquet tends to fade quickly in the glass, but there is still enough fruit and ripeness in the wine to provide some degree of charm and pleasure. However, don't push your luck as this wine is quite fragile and near collapse. Last tasted, 1/88.
