CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2014 Calon Segur has a fresh and vibrant nose, a bit backward and broody, but there is concentration here, just tightly coiled at the moment. There are touches of iodine and sea spray present. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins, quite dense and fleshy, but there is enormous weight and backbone on the back end that I think will see this mature in style. Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting and Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Calon Segur has a much more reticent bouquet than either the 2014 Montrose or Cos d'Estournel. There is blackberry here, a hint of cassis and violets, fine purity but bolshie and withdrawn at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, more red fruit than the Montrose with a smooth, quite silky Merlot-like, graphite finish. Tasted on two occasions in Bordeaux, the second bottle exuded more panache and joie-de-vivre, coming across a little more spicy with a longer aftertaste.

Tasted blind. Youthfully dark garnet. Sweetly fruited, both black and red. Leafy, open and inviting. I thought it might be very slightly bretty/meaty but this impression was not shared by most in the group. Compact, fine tannins, just a little bitter on the aftertaste. But the fruit is excellent and I put this up half a point on retasting. It was the overall top-scorer in the St-Estephe flight even though it was not my highest scorer. (JH)
