Decanter review: Opulent, well knit with fine fruit and spice notes. Luscious entry, ripe fruit
notes, yet on a tight rein. Potent yet restrained, with silky tannins.

93 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '05 Ch Calon-Segur has a beautiful nose of crushed berry, spices and nutmeg, with a hint of coffee; then turns to licorice; full-bodied, with supersilky tannins.

RP 92+ WS 93 IWC 92 CG 94 - Robert Parker 92+ Points A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the totally closed 2005 Calon Segur is one of those traditionally made, backstrapping, uncompromising Bordeaux that will last 30-40 or more years. Its dense ruby color with purple nuances is followed by a nose that reluctantly offers up scents of damp earth, wood smoke, black cherries, cassis, and an exotic Asian spice character. The wine is formidably endowed and broodingly tannic, with noticeable acidity and a structured, nearly impenetrable mouthfeel. Nevertheless, it is easy to sense the weight, extract, and richness in this pure, deep wine. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050. Wine Spectator 93 Points Has a beautiful nose of crushed berry, spices and nutmeg, with a hint of coffee. Then turns to licorice. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long finish of vanilla, berry and cinnamon. Beautifully crafted. Best after 2014. 17,500 cases made.-JS International Wine Cellar 92 Points Deep, bright ruby-red. Deeply pitched aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, leather, smoked meat, earth and menthol. Chewy, brooding and deep, with concentrated black cherry, menthol, mineral and leather flavors framed by a powerful spine of acids and tannins. Really saturates the palate on the tannic back end. I'd give this classic St. Estephe a decade of aging, at which time this wine may well merit an even higher score.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc. Purple that fades to ruby flecks near the rim. Fresh black berries and cassis. Very powerful and complex wine also showing notes of cocoa and caramel.

Ch. Calon-Ségur was one of the three original vineyards of St. Estèphe. Made mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has lively tannins and a rich, concentrated mouthfeel.
