Château Calon-Ségur, 3e CC St-Estèphe (Double-magnum) - 2009

Wonderful Calon-Ségur! With a focus on Cabernet (90%), this wine is somewhat the stylistic antithesis of Cos d'Estournel. Dynamic and tense, it is characterised by a very pure, deep nose with notes of graphite, spices and red fruits. The body is slender and invigorating, with supple tannins, culminating in a complex finish with incredible flavour. Decanter : 96/100 ; Lisa Perotti-Brown : 96/100 ; James Suckling : 93-96/100.
