86 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 % Merlot, 2 % Petit Verdot. 14 % Presswein. Durch Hagel eine halbe Ernte. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Warmes Cabernetbouquet, Sommertrüffel, dunkle Hölzer und schwarze Oliven, zeigt viel Tiefe. Reiche Adstringenz, auch hier viel Tiefgang vermittelnd, alles im schwarzbeerigen Bereich. Für einmal nicht so feminin wie sonst, sondern eher barock. Also atypisch, aber den Geschmack eines grossen, legendären, klassischen Jahrganges vermittelnd. Ein Calon - fast für die Ewigkeit! warten (2022 - 2060)

Sure pure fruit to this red with a minerality and floral undertone. You can smell the warm stones. Full body, with a beautiful depth of fruit and velvety tannins. Dense and balanced. Layered with a light salty and meaty character as well. Great length. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. Try in 2017.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Calon-Ségur opens with herbal wafts of bay leaves and bouquet garni over a core of warm redcurrants, black cherry compote and warm cassis with touches of damp soil and moss-covered tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate has firm, chewy tannins and lively acid supporting the herb-laced fruit, finishing a little hard and tart.
89 Wine Spectator
On the rustic side, with strong bay and chestnut leaf notes and a peppery meatiness up front, followed by slightly chewy black currant and blackberry fruit flavors. Shows lots of charcoal on the dusty finish, while the leafy elements flicker in and out. Displays flesh and dense fruit, but lacks purity and may not be for everyone. The peppery note wins out in the end. Best from 2014 through 2028. –JM
