Description

From a case purchased in bond and carefully stored in a cellar since its removal, as evidenced by the excellent fills in both bottles.

1995 was a great vintage for Calon as per the high Vivino rating and reviews. I've included the 2 most recent professional reviews below - plenty of life left in this beauty!

Neal Martin, RobertParker.com (227), October 2016, 94/100
The 1995 Calon-Segur was the vintage that raised the profile of this estate and heralded the start of the late Mme Gasqueton s era. At 20 years of age, it shows no signs of reaching the end of its plateau. Far from it. It has an endearing bouquet that still seems youthful: brambly red fruit, asphalt and a light marine influence. Allowing the wine to open, there is a subtle winegum scent. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, impressive depth and backbone, the second half having mellowed in recent years, rendering this approachable; hints of secondary truffle and smoke notes emerging with aeration. It has been several years since I last tasted this wine, but it is one that seems to become more and more impressive with age. Robert Parker rightly lauded this Calon-Ségur at the time of release. Twenty years on, it is fulfilling all its promise. Drink 2015-2045.

I always loved this wine from the first time I tasted it in 1998. It has such purity and power yet it s reserved and beautiful. It s one of the best Calons ever. I drank a bottle with some friends in Manhattan last week and it was the wine of the evening. It was full-bodied with silky tannins and a focused and intense finish. Lots of currant and berry character and hints of dried spices. It s finally opening up and giving real pleasure now like so many 1995 Bordeaux at the moment.
