Monday, January 20, 2014 - 16 vintages of Calon Segur (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Not sure what to think of the 2006. Stolid. Yet solid. No word play :-). I recall reporting in September in Bordeaux for decanter.com when the rain fell, and got some savory quotes from Jean Rene Matignon of Pichon Baron basically saying that this was detrimental to optimal ripeness. Laurent Dufau of Calon Segur himself compares 2006 to 1975: "Will it ever come around?" The substance is there, on the mid palate, but it is hardly pleasurable. Critic John Gilman is convinced that this will be great down the road. Cross the fingers, but for now...

That could well be the case Robert. For owners of 2006, I certainly hope so. I would cautiously steer clear of it, and go for 2005, 2003, 2001, 2008. To take but four examples.
