Chateau Calon Segur St-Estephe 2008 750ml

Chateau Calon Segur St-Estephe 2008 750ml

$295.00

The palate is medium-bodied and slightly brittle in texture on the entry. The acidity is beautifully judged here with superb balance: smooth and harmonious, though it just tapers in towards the edgy, maybe angular finish. This has a sense of joie-de-vivre perhaps not common in Calon-S?gur’s wines. It is one of the best Left Bank wines in 2008 and given its price, one of its best values. Tasted March 2015.

Tasted from an ex-chateau bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. I praised the 2008 Calon Segur when I tasted it blind in 2012 and I have no reason to change my opinion three years later. Here it has a surprisingly deep hue for a 2008. The nose is very detailed and lively, more breezy and carefree than the 2009 with vivacious blackberry, cedar and graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied and slightly brittle in texture on the entry. The acidity is beautifully judged here with superb balance: smooth and harmonious, though it just tapers in towards the edgy, maybe angular finish. This has a sense of joie-de-vivre perhaps not common in Calon-Segur's wines. It is one of the best Left Bank wines in 2008 and given its price, one of its best values. Tasted March 2015.
