Chateau Calon Segur 1949 St Estephe Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: I have experienced bottle variation with the 1949Calon-Segur, ranging from bottles that were slightly austere andunder-nourished, to those that were superb. This bottle was anoutstanding example. It did not possess the weight, unctuosity, andthickness of the 1947, nor the power, youthfulness, and muscle ofthe 1945. It revealed considerable amber at the edge of its darkgarnet color. The nose displayed a Medoc-like, cedar, spice,curranty, mineral, and damp forest scent. Medium to full-bodied,with high tannin, excellent concentration, and an element ofover-ripe fruit, this was an impressive, fully mature Calon-Segurthat can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-20 years.
