A chewy, structured red with blackberry, chocolate and some walnut and bark. It's full-bodied and solid with lots of fruit and tannins. Second wine of Calon Segur.

The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Segur is a terrific second wine. Ample, bold and dramatic, the 2019 packs a huge punch. Black cherry, plum, new leather, graphite and incense build as this flamboyant, opulent Saint-Estephe shows off its considerable allure. The 2019 is a big wine, but the 15.1% alcohol is not especially evident.

The second wine of classed growth Calon Segur, this is becoming impressive in its own right. This vintage shows the structured side of Saint-Estephe while also showing generous black fruits and bright acidity.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Le Marquis de Calon-Segur wafts out of the glass with fragrant potpourri, garrigue and Darjeeling tea scents over a core of redcurrant jelly, plum preserves and blackcurrant pastilles plus a touch of cracked black pepper. The full-bodied palate has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins with loads of freshness supporting the crunchy black fruits, finishing long and savory.
