Château Calon-Ségur
Marquis de Calon Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
Even better than the last bottle, though I slouched and drank it with cheese/crackers/fruit and on day two with grilled chicken, bulghur pilaf, stewed yellow squash and tomato/cucumber/feta/parsley salad.
Serious, savory, stony, sapid, vibrant, lively and delicious. A great value for what I paid, under $50 US, less of a good value from wine searcher at around $400 these days. #CellarYourOwn

An earthy fruit punch-packed tongue-puckerer! Love love love! Made to age, but ripe and ready to drink!

Jul 14th, 2017Not necessarily profound, but I loved it. Not a lot of fruit, but plenty of character. Reminds me to sit up strait and that I should have dressed better for dinner. Paired with grilled beef.

Jul 4th, 2016I remember drinking this with @John Sweeney in Bordeaux in 2011 en premieur. This is clean and fruit driven version of the super age worthy calories segur. Drinking exceptionally well now and highly recommended
