Tasting notes
Dark ruby-colored, with a closed, truffle-like aroma, this is a concentrated, stern, tannic wine that appears to have more weight than the 1993, but also more astringent tannin. It needs 2-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2012. Last tasted 1/97

Medium dark red. Pungent, faintly sauvage nose hints at curry powder and tobacco. Rather stylish in shape, but seems plagued by an underripe/overripe quality. Rather spiky on the finish; the tannins are not particularly strong but seem only modestly ripe. Notes of tobacco and tomato in the mouth.
About the producer
Wedding gift lists traditionally include wine glasses or cutlery, but in 1718, Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the owner of Château Lafite and Château Latour and president of the Bordeaux parliament, received a rather more impressive present: Château Calon.
