Chateau Calon Segur 2000

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Very deep, thick and lively colour. Great density, flavours in retreat. Chewy edge. Full, dense, sturdy spread over the palate of lots of ripe fruit and tannins but overall an impressively silky texture despite the massive concentration."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at fifteen years old, it has a brilliant, vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas. The detail here is a beguiling and it just "sings" Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone, but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity. It finishes with a twist of bitter cherry on the finish that completes what is a deeply impressive Calon-Ségur; it might just outclass the 2005. Tasted March 2015."

WEINWISSER: "Fruchtiges, süsses, duftiges Bukett mit Amarenakirschen, Zwetschgen. Fruchtiger, samtener, weicher Gaumen mit süsser Frucht, weichem Tannin. Sehr langer, süsser, weicher Abgang. 18/20 2012 - 2025"
