Château Calon Ségur 1982

u. 3ts, 2t/hs, 4hs, bin-soiled labels, 1 scuffed label, 2 slightly nicked labels, 1 slightly torn label, oxidized capsules, 3 corroded capsules, 2 slightly sunken corks

In 2017, and with the first grouse of the season, this was deliciously supple, soft and full of fruit, perfumed and fresh, and rolling round the mouth with tempting ripeness. This has just got better and better - the terroir coming out, in spite of the big crop and the limited selection of the time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
