It cannot be 38 years old is all I could think when I popped the cork. I can only wish I was as youthful as this wine. Black fruit, chocolate, smoke/tobacco...elegant , structured. Delicious — 5 years ago

From the moment we poured this wine after pulling the cork it was amazingly smooth. Beautiful fruit forward with along satisfying velvety finish. I can’t get enough of this wine. Cheers!! — 6 years ago

Mag. The cork blew up and we had to Macgyver our way out of the dust but the contents were superb. — 7 years ago

Brilliant stuff, first time with this one but a real winner, round full flavour with a little fizz in the mouth — 8 years ago

From magnum with low shoulder fill. Appropriately branded cork came out intact. Dark reddish purple, opaque. Reddish orange rims. Heavy nose of leather saddle, blackberries, cranberries, dark unsweetened chocolate, walnuts, and some old wine funk. Fruit forward in the mouth and very rich. Structure, acidity and fruit all still perfectly balanced. With air it improved over 6 hours, and new notes like menthol and quarry stone in the nose were noted. This wine is probably not going to get better, but should be fine in the near term to hopefully show like this big boy did tonite. — 9 years ago

I've had many vintages of Calon-Segur; this may be the oldest. The cork was perfect even with nearly 20 years of bottle aging. It took about an hour for the glass to open. Typical of Grand Cru Bordeaux, the bouquet was pleasant and graceful. A great value for under $130. Cheers!! — 10 years ago

Cork was crumbly. Slightly past it's prime, but not corked. Soft and lovely and supremely balanced! — 12 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. — 6 years ago

Cork disintegrated, but otherwise no concerns. Very restrained with more fruit showing as it took on air. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the bottles age. — 9 years ago

If there's a bottle of wine with a longer cork, Ive never had it...anywho, this starts with a nose of dusty spice and bramble with a really smooth palate of cassis, molasses, and stewed dark fruits...nice. — 9 years ago

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 10 years ago

Heavy yeasty autolytic notes on nose & palate. Developed stone fruit, approachable acidity. As it sat in glass & warmed a touch of cork came through on the nose. Must drink faster :) — 10 years ago
