Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 2003
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
Tasting note: Bottled in July, 2005, the saturated ruby/purple-coloured 2003 exhibits a tightly-knit, but promising nose of mulberries, blackberries, cherries, and hints of new oak and truffles. This 60 Cabernet Sauvignon 40 Merlot blend possesses a gorgeous texture as well as an expansive, exotic softness, and 13 alcohol (according to the proprietor, Madame Denise Gasqueton). Generous and rich, this high class, full-bodied wine will undoubtedly be more approachable than its closest spiritual sibling, the 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.
