Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 2001
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
Tasting Note: Approximately 65 of the crop made it into the 2001 Calon-Ségur, which is a standard blend of 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot, and 10 Cabernet Franc. Half the crop enjoyed malolactic in barrel and half in tank. Although this is a richer effort than the 1999 as well as 1998, it falls short of the profound 2000. The deep ruby/purple-coloured 2001 exhibits a sweet nose of mulberries, cherries, dried herbs, earth, and liquorice, a sweet attack, ripe tannin, good definition, and a medium-bodied, long finish with impressive purity. If this St.-Estèphe fleshes out, it will merit an outstanding score, but it is lighter and less dense than the 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146 April 2003.
