  After the two Burgundies this was a pleasant surprise. Fairly pure blackcurrant fruit backed by sweet spice, touch of vanilla, a little plum and red berry here as well. Obviously meant to be their DYA but has the stuffing to go for a few more years...

  The 3rd wine from the renowned Saint Estephe property is crafted through a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes. It matures for approximately 18 months in oak barrels, with about 30% being new oak (specifically, third-passage barrels for around 16 months in this vintage). Le C de Calon Ségur is characterized by distinct notes of dark fruits such as blackberry and black currant, along with a lovely hint of licorice. The tannins are elegant, and the acidity is well-balanced. It can be enjoyed already and does not give the impression of significantly improving with further aging.

Le C de Calon Ségur è distinto da note spiccate di frutti scuri quali la mora e il ribes nero, bella la nota di liquirizia. i tannini sono eleganti e l'acidità bilanciata, può essere già apprezzato e non dà l'idea di poter migliorare sensibilmente.

  Very pure fruit of blackcurrant, toasted star anise, vanilla and a touch of barnyard. Palate echoed the nose. Almost full-bodied, herbaceous and aromatic. Nice texture for such a young wine. Good freshness and long finish. A good third wine from Château Calon Segur. Drink this for the next 3-5 years.

  Accessible and approachable. Deep ruby with delicate rusty hue. Dark fruits, black tea, and green pepper. Moderate oak with vanilla and cedar.
