Ranking notes:
Robert Parker 92/100, Jancis Robinson 17/20
"The 1996 may not be as profound as I had predicted from cask, but it is an exceptional wine. Dark ruby-colored, with a complex nose of dried herbs, Asian spices, and black cherry jam intermixed with cassis, it possesses outstanding purity, and considerable tannin in the finish. This classic, medium to full-bodied, traditionally made wine improves dramatically with airing, suggesting it will have a very long life. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2028." Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The producer
Château Calon Ségur
Château Calon-Ségur is a Third Growth on the appellation Saint Estèphe, owned since 2012 by Suravenir Assurances, a subsidiary of Credit Mutuel. The 55 hectares of vineyard are planted on a graves soil, with a limestone subsoil. The Cabernet Sauvignon is dominant in the style of these powerful wines, and Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete the blend.
