Merchant's description
Château Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés and is renowned for wines with excellent depth of fruit and superb length. 2005 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot offering scents of cassis, earth, woodsmoke and spice. It is broad-shouldered and broodingly tannic suggesting more time in bottle may be of benefit.
