- Verkostnotiz
- Verkostnotiz Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Beeren, ein Hauch von Bergamotte und Darjeelingtee, Blaubeeren und Zedernholz, exotisches Bukett. Kraftvoll, saftig und süß, schokoladige Nuancen, feste, tragende Tannine, würzig im Abgang, besitzt große Würze und Länge, geprägt vom Holzeinsatz, der über die fehlende Dichte hinweghilft, fast pfeffrige Nuancen im Nachhall, reife Herzkirschen im Rückgeschmack, Potenzial für viele Jahre. Verkostnotiz James Suckling: Sweet cherries and berries with some walnuts and dried flowers, as well as notes of crushed stone, pine, currants and violets. Full-bodied and building gradually on the palate, with intense, polished tannins that are layered throughout the wine, providing well-toned muscle. The finish lasts for minutes. Quintessential Calon. Needs time to soften. Try after 2027. Verkostnotiz Robert Parker: Vincent Millet (who can boast a doctorate in wine microbiology and who too k up his post as Calon's technical director after a stint at Château Margaux) is doing everything right in terms of restructuring the estate's somewhat neglected vineyards with massal selections, higher density plantings, cover crops and precision viticulture. He's also cleaned up and modernized the winery. The 2019 Calon-Ségur shows the impact of some of those changes already, offering up a rich bouquet of crème de cassis, licorice, warm spices and subtle hints of cigar box, followed by a full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and beautifully refined tannins. All this is very impressive, but the fly in the ointment is an alcohol level that flirts with 15% and makes itself felt on the warm, liqueured finish. Balance isn't a matter of mere numbers, of course, but despite its admirable qualities and the serious work behind it, I do have reservations about this wine's ultimate equilibrium. Time will tell. The good news is that Millet is active ly exploring viticultural strategies to mitigate high alcohol levels.
