Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Calon-Segur is notorious for being a producer for the ages. This 2000 is no different. Although, just starting to blossom.
Classic great Bordeaux vintage.
Excellent with the ribcap. 6oz’s of waygu equals an hour plus bit & sip.

Cool, restrained and dense. Graphite, iron, dark gnarly blue fruit. Fine Yano is. Drinking now but a while ahead. Decidedly unexuberant

An outstanding wine, something special, was lucky enough to get a taste. A blend of 60% Cab Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cab Franc, Rich dark color. Aromas of berries and spice wafting in my glass. Big fruit flavors blackberry and cherry, well integrated with gentle spice and fine acidity. Full body with tannins that still hold up well just have a subtle edge. Lingering finish ending with tobacco and oak notes. Drink this beauty in its prime. Tasting Sample.

Still a bit young and tightly wound, but opened up nicely during dinner.

Brought the bottle up from out of the cellar and pulled the cork about an hour before the first pour. Bin-stained label. Cork was in perfect condition. After pouring the first glass, it was clear that we were in for a treat as we could smell the bouquet from across the table, drawing me in closer. Notes of cassis, dried apricots(?!), tobacco, damp forest floor, well-oiled ball glove, fresh asphalt and a touch of green bell pepper. So many wonderful layers! The color was deep garnet and hardly showing any signs of age. Some fine sediment was present. On the palate it was cassis, tobacco and a touch of cocoa. Finish lasts for 20-30 seconds. Beautiful body. Tannin is still a factor though it's not a chore to get past. Considering the adequate acid, considerable structure, and the fact that this tasted nowhere near 17 years old, I would have to say that the 2000 vintage will last for decades to come. This was an outstanding bottle. Drink now or Hold.

Very refined, has a nice long even finish. Tannins still present but not overpowering, has a undertone of leather, currants and dried herbs. Very pleasant.

The influence of the estate vineyard's deep gravelly soils is evident in the nose and in a delicate vein of minerality, that sits like filagree atop velvety, caressing tannins. It's developed nicely, with no hard edges and a pleasing and lengthy finish.
