Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Blended of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 17 months in 30% new French oak, the 2016 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur has a deep garnet-purple color and gives up gregarious scents of chocolate-covered cherries, black raspberries and cassis with hints of violets and cinnamon stick plus an underbrush hint.
The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with a good core of layered black fruits and a perfumed finish.
