Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 1982
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
In original wooden case
Levels: Bottom neck or better; one protruding cork, lightly corroded capsule, signs of old seepage, one wine stained labels, lightly bin soiled labels, two nicked labels
"This wine has just begun to reveal its true personality, having under-performed for most of its life. In half-bottles it is close to maturity, but in 750ml bottles, it still needs another 4-5 years of cellaring (at least those that were purchased in pristine condition and stored properly).
The color is a medium dark ruby with a garnet center. The multidimensional nose offers up notes of dried herbs, sweet damp earth, espresso, black cherries, prunes, cedar, iodine, and iron. Extremely complex aromatically, this full-bodied, still tannic, concentrated, old style Bordeaux has two to three decades of life remaining. It is impressive, but clearly from the old-school of Bordeaux winemaking with rustic tannin, but huge depth and body. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000)
