Score 82/100 · Drink 1994, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
When I first tasted this wine in spring 1984, it was surprisingly soft, with grapey flavors, a hot, alcoholic finish, a rather fragile framework. Later in the year, it was ripe and flavorful, but low in acidity, and again, alcoholic. In style, color, and texture, it reminded me of a 1976. Revealing considerable amber and rust to its color, this fully mature, loosely structured, rather weedy wine should be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/94.

About the producer
Calon Segur
Wedding gift lists traditionally include wine glasses or cutlery, but in 1718, Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the owner of Château Lafite and Château Latour and president of the Bordeaux parliament, received a rather more impressive present: Château Calon.
