Marquis De Calon 2019 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur comes sprinting out of the blocks on the nose with powerful blackberry, iodine and pressed iris petals, a little "in ya face" at first but with aeration develops commendable cohesion. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit laced with pencil lead, very harmonious with a precise and persistent finish. This is surely the best second label from Calon Ségur to date." 6/20

92-94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a stunning wine. Dark cherry, blackberry jam, plum, gravel, menthol, licorice, inky spice and new leather meld together in a Saint-Estèphe that is rich, unctuous and potent to the core. In the glass, the 2019 is virile and expansive, with tremendous depth, persistence and aromatic breadth. Not a timid wine, the 2019 packs plenty of punch and 15.1% alcohol that is remarkably well-integrated." 6/20

92-93 points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: "A solid red with a deep, dense center palate and a balance of berry, spice and chocolate character. It's full and linear at the finish. Better than the 2018." 05/20
