CHÂTEAU CALON SEGUR
Château Calon Segur from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in Bordeaux is one of the fourteen classified third growths in the famous Bordeaux classification of 1855. It is one of the original three vineyards in Saint-Estèphe and is a historic estate once housing the famous Château Montrose in 1825. It is also the northernmost classified growth in the Médoc. The estate has been owned by the Capbern Gasqueton family since 1894. The wines of Château Calon Segur have been cited of falling between Cos d’Estournel and Montrose in style, being long-lived without aggression.NEW RELEASES

Hailed a curvy, racy beauty from Antonio Galloni and a fascinating wine from Monica Larner, Sassicaia 2017 is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Sassicaia 2017 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. In her preview assessment of the wine, Larner describes incredibly well the tension existing from vintner and vintage and how, like...

TASTING NOTES
An impressive release that speaks volume of the pedigree of Tenuta San Guido’s wines. Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A voluptuous nose charged with blackcurrant, black cherries, damson notes is rained in by mineral, almost balsamic hints of black olive, mint, tomato leaf and fresh black pepper. The exuberant nose of youth shouldn’t distract from the...

TASTING NOTES
“A darker, more structured Barolo than his sibling, Prapo’ is an incredibly pure expression of the terroir of Serralunga. Precise notes of red and black berries, forest floor and dark spices are framed by tight woven tannins and lively freshness. An exciting release that has the potential to be enjoyed for the next 10 years.” Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
The blend consists of 95% Tempranillo from 40-year-old vines in Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas in Rodezno, complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. The Graciano gives the wine an aromatic intensity and acidity, to carry the structure and elegance of the Tempranillo. The grapes are vinified separately in four-and-a-half-year-old American oak for three years, and...

TASTING NOTES
Another in a long-line of distinguished Calons, this shows wild black fruits and certain gaminess on the nose and a really tight, finely-grained palate packed full of minerals and grippy tannins. As ever, this will need time to show at its best but has more than enough freshness and fruit to carry it through. 16 points

TASTING NOTES
The essence of cassis, backed up with cedar and cigar box notes, this is a wonderfully classic nose with real intensity, purity and a sense of drive. On the palate, the wine is fresh, lively and packed with ripe fruit with earthy, iron notes underneath. This is a wonderful wine, showing excellent precision and detail and plenty of well-toned muscle....
