  With the patina of age in the texture, coupled with cedar, lead pencil, leather, leafy herbs, tobacco, iron, and crisp red currants, this rosehip tea-colored wine is a sublime treat that does not warrant future cellaring. Pop, pour, and enjoy this classic gem at full maturity. Drink from 2022-2029.

  A Celebration of Jose; 5/19/2022-5/21/2022 (Madison, WI): Good fill, nice color. Corked, with just faint hints of fruit trying to peek through.

  (375ml) This half bottle on other hand did just fine! Classic claret, cassis and black cherry intertwined with cedar shavings, tobacco, and saddle leather.. Sweet and complex, good length, best glass was final taste at midnight. A-

  Stunning. Very old Calon Ségur, at least from perfectly stored cellars such as this one I procured from the Heritage auction of the Ben Ichinose cellar, display astonishing levels of fresh red cherry fruit, gentle tannins and acidity. Remarkable lively and refuses to fade in the glass. Whatever rusticity Calon Ségur displays in some vintages is nowhere to be found. A revelation.

  Another fresh and vibrant bottle. Apparently, the Belgium bottling tends to have more sweetness than the regular domaine bottling. Consistent with previous note. This is my second last bottle.
