1990 Château Calon-Ségur



Thank you Alex for my first taste of this most romantic wine. Medium purple with fantastic nose of licorice, tobacco, spices, dark berries, plums. Chocolate, minerals, coffee, mushrooms and cedar. Medium to long finish, minty, sweet, where tannins well dissolved after the 18 years. Wonderful year and probably at a very good time to drink. Most impressive wine of the night.
