Calon Segur, 2005
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the 2005 Calon Segur is one of those traditionally made, backstrapping, uncompromising Bordeaux that will last 30 to 40 more years.
Its dense ruby colour with purple nuances is followed by a nose that offers up scents of damp earth, wood smoke, black cherries, cassis, and an exotic Asian spice character.
The wine is formidably endowed and broodingly tannic, with noticeable acidity and a structured, nearly impenetrable mouthfeel.
It is easy to sense the weight, extract, and richness in this pure, deep wine and its anticipated maturity ranges from 2020 to 2050
