WineScores' Review

Expressive, harmonious, pretty.
The Quie family has owned Chateau Rauzan~Gassies since 1946; they have 30 hectares of estate vines in Margaux and 30 hectares in the Haut~Medoc.
This outstanding blend of Merlot (66%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (34%) was aged 12 months in French oak barrels.
A Bordeaux blend which absolutely sings with pretty notes of chocolate and vanilla, Ribena and red licorice, violets and baking spice. A generous mouthfilling wine, it boasts expressive purple berries, chocolate and sweet spice flavours. Wonderfully harmonious, balanced and pleasing--a sensual wine and one of Winescores.ca's highest scoring wines of 2021.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
