Second bottle - Nose: chocolate, dark berries, a little breadiness (like bread dough). Taste is smooth, nice blueberries and a little tobacco (?). Don’t get the herbs I got from the first bottle. Still a great bottle of wine. — 4 years ago

Young. Much more tar and dark fruit compared to the Calon segur 95. This is more intense in body and finish. More pronounced acidity. Needs another 5 years to smooth out more — 7 years ago

Murky dark tawny color. Opaque. Exotic nose with notes of briary herbs and black fruit, pepper, menthol, cassis and some wood. Opulent and rich in the mouth. More fruit than the Calon Segur. Great balance of fruit and structure. Memorable finish. — 8 years ago

Tasted blind. Tawny color, translucent with amber rims. Notes of black cherry, cedar, some spice and a little barnyard floor. Sweet fruit in the mouth, with tannins fully resolved. Guessed 1955 Calon Segur. Perfect looking bottle, the cork revealed this bottle was reconditioned by the Chateau in 2000. — 7 years ago

At twice the price of a Calon Segur 2010, this Lynch Bages did not stand a chance... needs more maturity still. — 8 years ago

3rd wine of the night: 2010 RUDD estate.
Bigger, more depth and a longer finish than Backus but not as long as Calon Segur. Just a tad below Calon this evening. 2nd place tonight. — 9 years ago

Inky violet red. Green pepper is less prominent and the body is juicier and fruitier than other cheap Bordeaux I've had. Oak age defines this: the tannins are big but silked out considerably, and the aroma and finish are decidedly that pruney oak deal. Part of me likes the sharp raw green pepper thing, but this is much more drinkable. This is a buy-again winner. — 9 years ago

Well well well. Delivered in spades despite it being a furtive end-of-evening PnP. Super classic, beautiful stable fruit and wood. Huge length. WOTN for me if only that the ‘96 Calon was still so young. — 4 years ago

Celebrating mate 40a. Bluefruit, mineral, chalky, bubblegum, pretty good can go another 5 yrs. The group prefer Calon over this one but I like this better. Modern style bordeaux. — 5 years ago

Good structure for a value second label from Calon-Ségur. Good fruit. Blackberry, smoke, and graphite. Some tannins so a short decant is ideal. — 8 years ago

2nd wine of the night. Completely differen than our 1st. I kept myself wanting to go back to Calon Segur but alas there was now to be had. This had dark fruit., big Cab and a rather short finish. Very good but not awesome tonight. — 9 years ago

My fav bordeaux of the night but others preferred the '85 calon segur...this was lightsr and more elegant, and more ready to drink but will still hold for several more years. Great mature old boots, leaves and mushroom with a kiss of cassis still hanging around...very well balanced, well oaked classic bordeaux. — 10 years ago
