Calon Ségur - Saint-Estèphe 2004

Wine Advocate

byNeal Martinthe8/1/2014

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2004 horizontal tasting. This is a disappointing showing from the Château Calon Segur ‘04, which scored in the high 80s in the past. It has a strong mocha-scented bouquet to the point that blind you might think it from Stellenbosch rather than Bordeaux. The palate is very oaky with dark chocolate and leather dominating, but the finish is very dry, suggesting that perhaps now the fruit is beginning to fade, it is revealing excessive new oak. Tasted March 2014.

Deep ruby-red. Aromas of cherry, mocha, milk chocolate and iron. Chewy and on the dry side but stuffed with flavors of cherry, plum, iron, tobacco and mocha. This has fat and sweetness for the year, along with a suggestion of herbs. Finishes with dusty tannins and moderate lift.

This classically-styled claret did not merit an outstanding rating because it lacks sufficient concentration to compete with the estate’s top vintages. However, it offers a dark ruby/plum color, nicely evolved notes of roasted herbs, sweet cherries and currants, and loamy earth, medium-weight, light to moderate tannin, and an elegant style. If it puts on weight over the next few years, it may deserve a slightly higher score. Anticipated maturity: now-2018.

Intense aromas of currant bush and berries that turn to roses. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a floral, leafy and fruity aftertaste. Builds on the palate. Needs time. Best after 2011.

88-90

byRobert Parkerthe6/30/2006

This dark purple-tinged 2004 is presently revealing abundant amounts of spicy new oak, but based on previous vintages, that component should be quickly absorbed (the percentage of new oak utilized has not changed). A deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of black cherries, currants, and pain grille, medium body, and a soft finish. This elegant, classic wine would benefit from additional concentration. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018.
