SF | More tension, more subtlety and much more class; the second wine is far far behind the Grand Vin, which is a relief as one cannot fail to be aware of the burgeoning reputation of this property. A deep midnight colour and a wonderfully complex nose of dark fruit, spice and a hint of forest floor. The palate is both lifted ( read ethereal) and grounded ( read complex and concentrated). The overall massage is clearly enunciated and gratefully received. An impressive Canon Segur. 94
AJ | Saturated black-red, midnight dense. Ample unbridled raw fruit power here: a great roar of cool blackcurrant. Sweet, ripe, fresh and tender: very alluring. Wonderful to see aromas like this uncompromised by oak, and we trust that with time will come complexity. Amazing fruit purity and drive here, as if the old Calon Segur has shed its skin and a new, more alert, more intense and more shocking wine has come slithering out to arrest our attention. It is rather single-note at present: all drive but little layering. However fruit purity of this order will certainly produce layers in due course, and this is a most compelling wine. And for all the best reasons. Exciting promise for the future here.Drink Dates: 2027 - 2040.
