Chateau Calon-Segur 2005 Size::6 Bottle Case around the achingly pretty communeThis is a wonderfully constructed wine, with very fine, silky tannins and an intense core of classic brambly St Estphe fruit with a whiff of mulberries. It is pure and fresh with the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon brooding, as if waiting to leap out very much to the fore. This is completely different to their famous 2003, and although Madame will not be drawn on the matter, we certainly think it is considerably superior.
