Chateau Calon-Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Lagrein Ends as it began

Ends as it began

Hard to resist this as it pulls you into the juicy and bright palate which feels a bit lighter than it actually is

Its long and balanced finish leaves an impression of serenity and depth

lightly juicy acidity framing the flavors of wild strawberry

refined nose of apples

Chateau Calon-Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Lagrein Ends as it beganDelivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
