Château Calon Ségur 2018 – Saint-Estèphe, Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, juicy and offers a good definition. It reveals notes of bright cassis, bright wild strawberry and small notes of small juicy/ripe red berries associated with touches of violet, minerality as well as fine hints of tobacco and a discreet hint of spices. The palate is beautifully fresh, full of finesse (despite power), beautifully mineral, racy and offers gourmandize, fat, a good definition, deepness, energy, power, dynamism, a pulpy/generous side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cherry, violet, bright raspberry and small notes of small red berries associated with touches of juicy cassis, violet, a racy minerality, zan, sweet spices, tobacco as well as a subtle hint of caramelization. Good length. Tannins are well-built, racy and very discreetly firm.
