St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
This second wine of the property uses both older and younger vines and lots of merlot (though this will change over time). 30% new oak for 17 months
Medium ruby with a lovely bit of blueberry, blackberry and cassis on the nose. Some well-balanced oak on the palate. and a lovely long finish. Quite soft and elegant, with just enough tannin to give it structure and a bit of spice

Good vintage. Concentrated. Black currant and berry. Deep. 2 hours decanting is enough to show its powerful body. 2015 @1600, wine plus -, 230524-230529

For £22 this 2nd of Calon is very good for 💵 & given 2-3yrs should be fab 👍 but decent enough already 😉 Great nose, ok body but slightly disappointing finale 😎
🍇 57% Mer, 33% Cab S & 10% Cab F
🍷 Opaque ruby w/ purple hue
👃 Dark spiced plum & cherry in black berry fruit w/ a smokey fresh oak backbone & a touch of mocha, dirty earth, violets & light gravel
👄 Med body of rich ripe dark fruit driven by blackcurrant & plum w/ a bitter dark mocha touch
🎯 Short++ dark dry tannic mocha/fruit fizzle
