  "I always loved this wine from the first time I tasted it in 1998. It has such purity and power yet it's reserved and beautiful. It's one of the best Calons ever. I drank a bottle with some friends in Manhattan last week and it was the wine of the evening. It was full-bodied with silky tannins and a focused and intense finish. Lots of currant and berry character and hints of dried spices. It's finally opening up and giving real pleasure now like so many 1995 Bordeaux at the moment."

  Wine Spectator
  "Incredible nose of crushed berries, flowers, spices and nuts. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Powerful and solid. Builds on the palate. Give it time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. The 1995 Calon-Segur was the vintage that raised the profile of this estate and heralded the start of the late Mme Gasqueton's era. At 20 years of age, it shows no signs of reaching the end of its plateau. Far from it. It has an endearing bouquet that still seems youthful: brambly red fruit, asphalt and a light marine influence. Allowing the wine to open, there is a subtle winegum scent. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, impressive depth and backbone, the second half having mellowed in recent years, rendering this approachable; hints of secondary truffle and smoke notes emerging with aeration. It has been several years since I last tasted this wine, but it is one that seems to become more and more impressive with age. Robert Parker rightly lauded this Calon-Ségur at the time of release. Twenty years on, it is fulfilling all its promise."

  Weinwisser
  "Mittleres Granat-Rubin, zart violetter Schimmer. Würziges, zu Beginn schlankes, sehr Cabernet-betontes Bouquet, Veilchennoten, schwarzer Pfeffer, typische Saint-Estèphe-Rasse im Nasenbild. Klar ausgerichteter Gaumen, bestechende Vinifikation, wiederum eher schlank, dafür langgezogener Körper mit gut eingepackten, süss ausstrahlenden, feinsandigen Tanninen, im Finale blaubeerig, Cassis und Brombeeren. Ein toller Wein für Liebhaber von ehrlichen, klassischen Weinen."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "1995 Calon Segur offered cassis, earth, spice and tobacco aromas. Full bodied, powerful and tannic in style. For a wine from a vintage that is slowly earning the sobriquet of a modern day version of 1975, the wine was already approachable. Still young, this robust, masculine style of St. Estephe will improve over the next several years."
