Chateau Calon-Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Lagrein A superb Banyuls that's madeDelivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
