1996 Calon Segur



1996 Calon Segur Grand Cru Classe, Saint Estephe

Typical funky barnyard nose that blew off in just minutes and left a nice perfumed nose.  Palate opens nicely with rose petals and red currants.  A lighter weight wine but with significant staying power on the length.  Some leathery notes.

Tannins completely resolved.  Subtle but very captivating.

95 points.
