Jean-Marc Quarin April - 1989
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red, burgundy color. Brilliant. Clean nose, good intensity. Caramel. Apple. Burnt green wood! Intense agitation, a little heavier but concentrated. Very Cabernet Sauvignon. Nettle. Tobacco. Spicy. Supple, gentle attack. Development on a straight and ascending structure, concentrated with finesse. Develops into a very beautiful tannin, stylish, woody, long and complex. Farm. Powerful. Grilled flavors in retro-olfaction. Alright. A more austere wine than Montrose.

The colour is turning a little towards brick, but remains quite deep for a wine of this age. Lovely on the nose, and very harmonious on the palate. There's still good freshness, and a good but not obtrusive underpinning of tannins. Reasonable length. Although obviously fully mature, the 88s were built to last and I don't think there's any great hurry to drink up (although nor will it improve further). If you're saving this wine for a 40th birthday in 2028, you should be in luck if it's well stored.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1988 Calon-Segur outshines both wines from the more heralded vintages of 1989 and 1990. Deeply colored, superbly balanced, rich and full bodied, it appears to be a worthy candidate for another 15-20 years of longevity. It is a classic example of this chateau's wine - cedary, very fragrant, with plenty of sweet red and black currant fruit. I should also note that it is surprisingly powerful for the vintage. It gets my nod as the finest Calon-Segur between 1982 and 1995.

Wonderfully deep crimson. Nose opened out in the glass. Very correct St Estèphe but with a tinge of rusty nails on the finish. Not too tannic but very, very firm. Definite mineral notes plus exceptionally ripe black fruits. This still has a way to go and has none of the awkwardness of some 1988s.

Château Calon Segur

Château Calon-Ségur is a 94 hectare wine estate located in Saint-Estèphe on the left bank of the Gironde. Third classified grand cru (official classification of Medoc wines in 1855) of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, this great wine is often recognizable by its label. The Château Calon-Ségur vineyard grows on gravelly and hilly terrain. The vineyard of the estate is made up of 65% cabernet-sauvignon, 20% merlot, 15% cabernet franc with vines of 40 years of average age.

Calon-Ségur wine is generally considered to be one of the most powerful and full-bodied Saint-Estèphe wines in the appellation. The estate also produces a second wine Marquis de Calon Segur and a cru bourgeois, Capbern Gasqueton. The best vintages of Château Calon-Ségur are 1982, 1988, the 1995 vintage as well as the 1996 wines and the 2000 vintage. Finally, the 2003, 2005 vintages, 2009, 2010 and 2014 wines are excellent.
