Aged for about 20 months in French oak (30% new) with a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Classic Bordeaux bouquet of rich black fruits and earthy spice. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with leather, gentle herbs and smoky notes. Round silky tannins, elegant with nice acidity balance from start to finish. Very polished lingering finish ending with earthy mineral tones. Tasting Sample.

Feb 10th, 2017An incredibly precise Calon-Segur, almost certainly infanticide. Perfectly delineated layers of dark red fruit, already quite nuanced. Earthy and tannic finish that lasted 45+ seconds, a 95+ St Estephe in 5-10 years. Worth waiting.
