Ratings By Robert Parker (85-87) Tasting Notes Revealing much more density than it did last year, this medium-weight 1998 possesses moderately intense, sweet black currant and spice box aromas, medium body, excellent ripeness on the attack, and a narrow mid-palate and finish.

It should drink well for 7-8 years.(Wine Advocate #188 Apr 2010) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 91 Tasting Notes A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2006 Calon Segur is an elegant, classic effort that represents about 60% of their total production.
