2000 Ch. Calon-Ségur, St Estèphe

"2000 Calon Ségur rivals the estate's finest wines of the last two deacdes, the 1995, 1988 and 1982. ....This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc exhibits a plum/purple colour along with gorgeous aromas of creosote intermixed with spring flowers, black cherries, cassis, licorice and stony,liquid minerals. A powerful, tannic, full-bodied and opulent wine, it possesses considerable structure that is reasonably well-concealed by considerale glycerin and intensity. Look for it to be at its best between 2012-2040. Patience, patience, patience!." 94/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2003)
