Score 86/100 · Drink 1988-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Although this fat, grapey, tannic, and astringent wine exhibits surprising power and presence in the mouth, it is not complex. Four-square and chunky, the 1983 is typical of Rauzan-Gassies. It tasted like an old-style, robust St.-Estephe. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 11/88.

The Quié family purchased Pauillac Fifth Growth Ch. Croizet-Bages in 1942, adding Rauzan-Gassies four years later. Once part of the same estate as the neighbouring Rauzan-Ségla, this Margaux property was split off in time for the 1855 Classification, earning Second Growth status.
