Château Calon

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

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

Wow. Wine of the day. After Montrose, Calon Segur, and Cos D'Estournel, this is simply outstanding. — 11 years ago

Château Rocher-Calon

Montagne-Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

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

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985

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
