Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The second wine of Calon Segur, the 2011 Marquis de Calon reveals a dark ruby color as well as juicy black cherry aromas, an attractive texture and a soft style. It is a pleasant, light to medium-bodied effort to consume over the next 4-5 years.
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2011 Marquis de Calon is not usually shown during en primeur, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a ripe, simple nose of buoyant red cherry and strawberry fruit with a touch of vanilla. The palate is rounded and fleshy on the entry with fine acidity, well balanced with a pleasing long finish with a nice graphite thread on the aftertaste. Tasted April 2012.
