1953 Calon Segur

Tasted 3 Times With Consistent Notes I have heard that the 1953 was sumptuous even before it reached 10 years of age. When drunk recently from magnum, the wine was a classic example of the glorious fragrance and velvety richness this vintage achieved. While most Calon-Segurs possess a hefty degree of tannin, this wine offers a glorious concoction of cedar, sweet jammy fruit, full body, and remarkable intensity without the husky roughness Calon-Segur can display. Although the color exhibits noticeable amber at the edge, this wine remains in magnificent condition.
