James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: The quality of the tannins is most notable here; they are present, but totally integrated and folded into the wine. Medium-to full-bodied with lovely savory fruit and a persistent and long finish. Very harmonious and fine. Yet, with air, it takes off with tannin power. Und vergibt ihm 97-98 Punkte.
James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: Delivers a laser beam of cassis, bitter plum and cherry reduction notes, with an extremely fine-grained structure carrying this through a long finish. Accents of iron and violet are piercing in their purity and definition. A very complete and precise wine.verkostet 03-19 von James Mothels Winespectator und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: The 2018 Calon-Segur is blended of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (14.9% alcohol). It is anticipated to age for 20 months in barriques, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs just a little coaxing before it reveals seductive notes of baked cherries, warm cassis, licorice and smoked meats with nuances of hoisin, camphor, Chinese five spice and dried roses with a waft of cardamom. Full-bodied and completely packed with concentrated black fruit and spice layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and a wicked backbone of freshness giving an energetic lift to the very long finish. There's lots of brightness coming from the Cabernet Franc component in here, but it is nonetheless a decadent expression. und vergibt ihm 96-98 Punkte.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: A stratospheric, regal wine, Calon Segur embodies all the best qualities of the vintage. Rich to the point of being exotically ripe, 2018 reminds me of the 2014 in its composition, but with more of everything. On the palate, the 2018 is towering and statuesque, with soaring structure and tremendous overall intensity. Striking aromatic top notes and bright saline underpinnings give the 2018 its energy, tension and nuance. As in 2014, the entirety of the château's Cabernet Franc went into the Grand Vin. Inky, powerful and explosive, Calon Segur is a headspinning wine. Don't miss it! und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.
CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: Der Kern ist schwarz und die Farbe ist fantastisch strahlend. Die Nase ist so tief. Und komplex, es fällt einerseits schwer etwas zu beschreiben, auf der anderen Seite ist so viel gleichzeitig da. Im Mund ist der Wein so einnehmend, kompakt, und dennoch mit einer tollen schwebenden Eleganz. Das Finale ist super lang und von diesen reifen polierten Tanninen getragen. Fantastisch, bereits jetzt so gut zu trinken. und vergibt ihm 97-100 Punkte.
