  August 24, 2013 - Love this on its own, but tonight it paled in comparison to the '96 Calon Segur.

  I'm sitting on 3 bottles of the 96 and 00.

  It seemed quite green and a little shrill compared to the '96 Calon Segur. I probably gave it more credit than it deserved due to the comparison, and the fact that the glasses at our friends' house weren't terribly fine-wine friendly.
  
  I've had a run of bad S-M's from '85 & '86; half a dozen from different sources were cooked, over-the-hill, or just plain bad. My last '85 was thankfully good. This '96 definitely didn't wow me, and I think Jenise also encountered a green one. I have a few more '96's and might hold them a bit.
