Another convincing piece of evidence that Calon-Segur's reputation for producing long-lived wine was hardly justified by this estate's performance during much of the sixties and seventies. Fully mature in 1978, with an attractive, charming, moderately intense bouquet of ripe Merlot fruit and spicy oak, this garnet-colored, slightly brownish wine has soft, supple fruit, medium body, and little tannin remaining. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 1/81.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/1998)
Medium garnet; cassis and tar nose, with cedar notes; firm, tight, lean and austere; where's the fruit?- (05/1993)
