beautifully fragrant finish

A superb Banyuls that's made from 90% Grenache and 10% Carignan

refined nose of apples

This 2019 wine is unusually perfumed and already approachable (atypical for most 2005 Medocs)

Chateau Calon-Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Lagrein beautifully fragrant finishDelivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
