Château Calon Ségur 1996 Rouge 75cl AOC Saint-Estephe

3ème Grand Cru Classé

Notes : 91/100 Robert Parker 

Le Calon Ségur 1996 est un vin taillé pour la garde, aujourd'hui encore il n'a rien perdu de sa superbe, la robe est profonde et intense.

Au nez, le chêne est présent mais délicat, on retrouve des notes de groseille, de cèdre et de sous bois.

En bouche, moyennement corsé à l'attaque, il se fait plus discret par la suite, c'est un Saint Estephe qui a besoin de temps.

Ce millésime 1996 est tres agréable, une belle opportunité.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
"Tasted at the château, the 1996 Calon Segur is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. This was always a feted wine in its youth by Robert Parker and myself. Now at 20 years of age there is fine delineation on the nose with more detail than the 1986 tasted alongside. The oak is a little more present here (50% in this vintage) married with plenty of redcurrant, cedar, loam and undergrowth aromas. These aromatics can develop further. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin on the entry, perhaps one of the most youthful and backward of the 1996s that I tasted during my visits. It feels firm in the mouth, masculine, very Saint Estèphe. To critique this wine, the oak is not quite knitted to the fruit as much as it should after two decades (something that has been addressed now). It is an enjoyable Calon-Segur if not quite matching up to my admittedly high expectations. Tasted July 2016."
