Description

I am offering a single bottle each of '75 and '90 from this wonderful St Estephe 3eme Grand Cru Classe estate.

The Marquis de Segur, Speaker of the Parliament of Bordeaux and one-time owner of Mouton, Lafite and Latour, once famously stated that his preference went to the estate he received on the occasion of his marriage. Hence his famous statement, causing the heart that now adorns the label: ""I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon.""

1990 Calon Segur
Average price £114.00 [Decanter.com]
An amber/orange edge to the colour suggests full maturity, and the aromas and flavors confirm it. The medium-bodied 1990 Calon Segur exhibits sweet cedar, currant, herb, plum, and kirsch notes along with a dusty earthiness. It lacks the concentration of the finest vintages from the mid-nineties as well as every top vintage from 2000 onward. No doubt high yields and a lack of a strict selection have resulted in a wine that has consistently been on a fast evolutionary track. There is a sensuality and sexiness to it because of its full maturity. Very pleasant at present, it needs to be drunk up over the next 4-5 years.
Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (183), June 2009

1975 Calon Segur
The '75 is generally regarded as one of this Estate's best vintages. Whilst other Estates made heavy weather of the '75's Calon bucked the trend by bringing out one of the stars of the Vintage!
