Chateau Calon Segur 1996 Grand Cru Classe St Estephe




Scoring 92/100 Parker points and from the very good 1996 vintage this lovely red wine "is opaque ruby/purple-colored full-bodied ferociously tannic and crammed with fruit and extract. Made in an uncompromising traditional style this wine will require a decade of patience. There is plenty of sweet fruit on the attack and while the tannins are high they are remarkably ripe with no evidence of astringency or vegetal characteristics. This appears to be a profound classic muscular and powerful Calon-Segur that will age effortlessly for 30-40 years. Readers should remember that this estate possesses one of the greatest terroirs of Bordeaux and produced a bevy of legendary wines in the twenties late forties and early fifties. Since then it has been something of a hit or miss property but under her administration Madame Gasqueton has produced consistently outstanding wines. The 1996 a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot was made from extremely low yields of 35 hectoliters per hectare. Drink now - 2035. A stunning Christening gift. This vintage wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined hinged presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew wine pourer drip stopper & wine stopper) [worth £14.99] at no extra cost.
