Wine Advocate #153 (6/2004) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2008-2019
I suspect this 2001 will shut down (as most young Calon-Segurs do), although it appears more forward and evolved than the huge, backward, but totally dormant 2000. The plum/ruby-colored 2001 reveals aromas of damp earth, cranberries, cherries, herbs, and forest floor. While lighter than its older sibling, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and should emerge from its post-bottling sleep in 4-5 years, and drink well for 14-15. Think of it as a lighter-weight 1988 (one of the stars of the vintage). -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 90
Elegant and spicy, with blackberry and earth character. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium to long finish. Not quite up to par with the barrel sample, but outstanding. Best after 2006. –JS
1855 Note:
Very, very seducing. Tannins are silky with a round and spiced mouth. Very traditional, very fine. |
