1996 Calon Segur St Estephe

92 pts - Wine Advocate

["The 1996 may not be as profound as I had predicted from cask, but it is an exceptional wine. Dark ruby-colored, with a complex nose of dried herbs, Asian spices, and black cherry jam intermixed with cassis, it possesses outstanding purity, and considerable tannin in the finish. This classic, medium to full-bodied, traditionally made wine improves dramatically with airing, suggesting it will have a very long life. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2028. - WA, RP (4/1999)"]

90 pts - Wine Spectator

["Currant and fresh herbs. Full- to medium-bodied, with plum flavors and a medium finish.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now."]
