2000 Calon Segur - Saint Estèphe,
Bordeaux, France
55%
Cabernet
Sauvignon - 35%
Merlot - 10%
Cabernet
Franc
2000 Calon Segur has delightful aromas - a subtle blend of wild bay and redcurrants. Great
freshness. Fine density with great "follow-through" from the
attack
to the
finish.
A delicious Calon Segur. I would say that the style of this 2000
Calon Segur is quite far from the traditional "old
fashioned" Calon-Ségur. Surprisingly approachable right now. 90/100

2002 Calon Segur - Saint Estèphe,
Bordeaux, France
2002
Calon Segur :
Initially reticent but gradually expanding
nose of spices and wet earth.
Mineral sensations (stones and gravel). Square,
powerful and quite
astringent
Calon Segur. 2002 Calon Segur is a classic
Saint-Estephe with a beautiful quality of fruit. 89/100

2003 Calon Segur - Saint Estèphe,
Bordeaux, France
2003
Calon Segur : the bouquet of 2003 Calon Segur is mainly characterized by red fruits and
cappuccino. There are some diffuse elements that are hard to pinpoint but are making the 2003 Calon Segur appear unclean and diffuse. There's clearly a curious earthy, wet and lacteous smell. The
palate of 2003 Calon Segur is on
ripe fruits and very firm tannins. Although 2003 Calon Segur is well framed and
powerful, this sample simply doesn't match the elegance of 2003
Cos d'Estournel
or 2003 Montrose tonight. I have some doubts over the quality of this sample. To re-assess. NR.
