CHÂTEAU CALON-SÉGUR 2000 (2)
Saint-Estèphe. 3ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x marked label. 1 x scraped label.
The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at fifteen years old, it has a brilliant, vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas. The detail here is a beguiling and it just "sings" Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone, but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity. It finishes with a twist of bitter cherry on the finish that completes what is a deeply impressive Calon-Ségur; it might just outclass the 2005. Tasted March 2015 Drink to 2050 WA 94
CHÂTEAU CALON-SÉGUR 2003 (2)
Saint-Estèphe. 3ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x marked label. 1 x scraped label.
This beautiful 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, a vigorous youthfulness, and plenty of mulberry, black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of cedarwood, baking spices and roasted herbs. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, fresh and precise, this wine is just hitting full maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years. August 2014 WA 93
