2000 Calon-Ségur, St-Estèphe

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2000 Calon-Ségur, St-Estèphe (94RP, 93JS, 93VN, 93WE). Wine Advocate: "The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at 15 years old, it has a brilliant, vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas. The detail here is a beguiling and it just "sings" Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone, but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity. It finishes with a twist of bitter cherry on the finish that completes what is a deeply impressive Calon-Ségur; it might just outclass the 2005. (NM)" (10/2016)
