Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
Red fruit, plum, graphite and lilac. Red fruit and licorice palate. Very firm tannins beg for a long decant or more bottle time. Excellent.

Feb 28th, 2021Cool blooded but rich on the palate. Quite inky and a bit subdued. Classy with a long life ahead

Dec 5th, 2020Super pure, needs about an hour to hit its stride. Balanced from start to finish. If you like a hint of fruit with fine tannins, this is your wine. Delish.

En mag. Possibly WOTD for me. I don't know if it was due to it being in a sweet spot or what, but this was firing on all cylinders. Room was split on Bordeaux or old Napa cab. A jamminess trait to it, but the finish had a great plum note that lingered. Some cocoa and blackberry pie, too. So good!

Decanted for 3+ hours and showing very approachable.
Perhaps it is getting time to check in more closely on those '05 Bordeaux's.

Very nice, refined, cherry vanilla, black tea notes.
