Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 1953
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
Two corroded capsules with signs of seepage. One damaged and four damp-stained labels. Levels: two top, two upper and two mid/upper shoulder
Tasting Note: 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-Ségurs 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-Ségur can display. Although the colour exhibits noticeable amber at the edge, this wine remains in magnificent condition. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 95, October 1994
