Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend


Tasted blind. Dark color but doesn’t seem too old. Nice old world nose. Notes of plums, old wood, some barn floor, some gravel stone, and some spice. I deduce that this is 80s Bordeaux but I say I don’t think it’s an 82. I go with a guess if 85 Haut Brion. When revealed I remember how the 82 Calon Segur plays it’s hand. It gets bigger and better over the evening. Good stuff but I wouldn’t wait much longer on opening these.

Tawny scarlet color, dark and opaque. Black fruit, forest floor, cedar and a little camphor in the nose. Rich and powerful in the mouth but with delicate fruit. Tannins are nicely integrated. There is a strong structure that evolves and softens with air, and which is followed by a nice, lengthy finish.

Stank on the nose but terrific freshness and energy on the palate.

Top 3 wine of the night. This wine will continue to improve for years.

Reddish with orange and brown tints. Almost opaque. Tangy fruit in the nose. A little anise too. In the mouth, black cherry and brown spice. It's expansive with a medium finish. Really good but not great.
