Château Calon Ségur G.C.C | St.-Estèphe
Red wine | France, SAINT-ESTEPHE | 2018
Aromas of redcurrants and plums with blueberries and black licorice, following through to a full body that’s so refined and polished, the tannins integrated wonderfully into the fruit. Fresh, linear and persistent. Real clarity and purity to this.
