13 Apr 2023 ? A racy and refined red with currants and crushed stone character as well as ovaltine. Medium-bodied. Polished and focused.
One of several over-performing second wines in this vintage is the 2022 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur a medium to full-bodied fleshy and seamless Saint-Estèphe redolent of minty berries licorice and rose petals. Lively and penetrating it punches above its weight.
The 2022 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a serious and potent second wine. Super-ripe red cherry spice leather tobacco and cedar all race across the palate. All the natural richness of the year comes through in this decidedly potent intense Saint-Estèphe. Today the elevated alcohol is a bit distracting.
