Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 1996
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
In original wooden case, damaged lid
"The 1996 may not be as profound as I had predicted from cask, but it is an exceptional wine. Dark ruby-colored, with a complex nose of dried herbs, Asian spices, and black cherry jam intermixed with cassis, it possesses outstanding purity, and considerable tannin in the finish. This classic, medium to full-bodied, traditionally made wine improves dramatically with airing, suggesting it will have a very long life. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2028." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999)
