Chateau Calon-Segur Marquis de Calon, Saint-Estephe, France 2018 Chateau Les Cruzelles bay leaf and light pencilThe second wine from Calon Sgur, the 2018 Le Marquis De Calon Segur shows the ripe, sexy side to the vintage and has terrific blackcurrant and red plum like fruits as well as lots of tobacco and cedary spice aromas and flavors. Close to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this full bodied, gorgeously texture, balanced Saint Estate should be snatched up by readers. It's in the running for the top second wine of the vintage! 95 Pts Jeb
