  The 2001 Calon Ségur has a serious disposition, austere rather than generous but appealing nonetheless with a nose full of red cherry, redcurrant, juniper, warm cedar, and Iberian ham. Rather austere in the mouth, the fruit reluctant but the tannin present front and center! Lithe and well-proportioned, this offers plenty of pleasure in its slightly introverted way.

  Bordeaux night: Initially muted with all tannins and no fruit, rather burly and clumsy that almost everyone didn’t like it. Revisited a couple of hours later and a wonderful opaque core of black fruit emerged to balance out the drying tannins. A little more modern than I would have liked but not overly so.

  Opaque core, some bricking at rim; stern nose, dark fruits, cedar, menthol; carries through to a rugged palate; punchy finish, burly even. Very long indeed Probably more to come.

  Just entering drinking window. Medium acid, medium tannins, lots of fruit and long finish. Pleasant wine to drink. Or keep :-)
