Amazing w/ the Allen Brothers A-5 wagyu. This is another Bordeaux producer that makes wines for the ages. I’ve waited & waited on 2000, this shows some readiness. Yet, will go another 20 plus years. Tonight this is well balanced earth & candied fruit. In 10 years, this is candied fruit & florals. Still medium plus tannins. Blackberries, black raspberries, black plum with ample skin, juicy dark cherries, poached strawberries, raspberries, dry limestone grains with powder, dark, forest floor with dry leaves, some dry herbaceousiness-bay leaf, mint, dark spice, clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon, hints of vanillin, mid berry cola, sandalwood to cedar shavings, used leather, pipe tobacco, anise, some mocha, sun tea, dark, red, purple flowers with a touch of blue, excellent acidity and a well knitted structure, balanced, nicely tensioned with a ripe, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes. Photos of; Chateau Calon Segur, tasting room, barrel cellar and estate vineyard.

Calon-Segur is notorious for being a producer for the ages. This 2000 is no different. Although, just starting to blossom. Classic great Bordeaux vintage. Excellent with the ribcap. 6oz’s of waygu equals an hour plus bit & sip.

Cool, restrained and dense. Graphite, iron, dark gnarly blue fruit. Fine Yano is. Drinking now but a while ahead. Decidedly unexuberant

Sipping Fine Wine
An outstanding wine, something special, was lucky enough to get a taste. A blend of 60% Cab Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cab Franc, Rich dark color. Aromas of berries and spice wafting in my glass. Big fruit flavors blackberry and cherry, well integrated with gentle spice and fine acidity. Full body with tannins that still hold up well just have a subtle edge. Lingering finish ending with tobacco and oak notes. Drink this beauty in its prime. Tasting Sample.
