CHÂTEAU CALON-SÉGUR 1995
Saint-Estèphe. 3ième Cru Classé
u. 4 x vts. 2 x bn. 2 x wrinkled labels. 4 x marked labels. 4 x wrinkled capsules.
The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, impressive depth and backbone, the second half having mellowed in recent years, rendering this approachable; hints of secondary truffle and smoke notes emerging with aeration. It has been several years since I last tasted this wine, but it is one that seems to become more and more impressive with age. Robert Parker rightly lauded this Calon-Ségur at the time of release. Twenty years on, it is fulfilling all its promise. Tasted March 2015. Drink: 2015-2045 WA 94
