92+ points Robert Parker, April 2008: "A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the totally closed
2005 Calon Segur is one of those traditionally made, backstrapping,
uncompromising Bordeaux that will last 30-40 or more years. Its dense
ruby color with purple nuances is followed by a nose that reluctantly
offers up scents of damp earth, wood smoke, black cherries, cassis, and
an exotic Asian spice character. The wine is formidably endowed and
broodingly tannic, with noticeable acidity and a structured, nearly
impenetrable mouthfeel. Nevertheless, it is easy to sense the weight,
extract, and richness in this pure, deep wine. Anticipated maturity:
2020-2050. "
92-94 points Wine Spectator:
"Dark-colored, with beautiful aromas of chocolate, spices and violets.
Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish. Fresh and
refined. A beauty. This is such a pleasure to taste."
