Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
Birthday year wine for me. So far, I’ve aged better than this bottle but it’s close! The ‘88 is slightly past its prime but still worth tasting. In the garden of earthly delights - dried figs, plums, dates, and mushrooms. Some peat and chocolate. Plenty of spice. Very fun. Happy birthday to me!

Aug 18th, 2024Lovely and rich. Classic Calon. Tannins are still a bit hard. Moderate finish. Somewhat green. Not stellar. Harsh on finish

Oct 25th, 2016Fully mature, showing nicely for an underappreciated vintage. On the herbal/earthy side of things, old style Bordeaux giving plenty of pleasure but few fireworks.
