Château Calon-Ségur 1996 is a mature Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Third Growth Château Calon-Ségur in St-Estèphe. Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus Classé and one of the most highly regarded of St-Estèphe`s Cru Classé properties. Its distinctive walled 75ha vineyard contains an unusually high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and in some vintages the Grand Vin can see as much as 90% Cabernet in the blend. "Saturated ruby-red. Pure, highly perfumed aromas of black cherry, currant, plum, minerals, tobacco, leather and fresh herbs. Very ripe, suave and spicy; at once subtle and gripping. Lovely Cabernet character dominating today. Very firm, long finish is youthful but not hard-edged. Showing extremely well." Stephen Tanzer, 2002
