93+ JG. "The deep, very complex and beautifully pure nose offers up a sappy blend of red and black cherries, cigar wrapper, espresso, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, a touch of currant leaf and a deft framing of smoky new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure and suave on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, soft acids and a very long, moderately tannic and beautifully focused finish. This is one of the most stunning young vintages of Calon- Ségur that I have ever tasted and one 2011 that is not to be missed!" View From The Cellar, Jan/Feb 2014, Issue #49 |
