Deep garnet in color, the 2016 Calon Segur prances out with showy notes of blackcurrant cordial, blackberry preserves, and ripe boysenberries, plus suggestions of licorice, candied violets, and spice cake with a touch of charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam packed with black fruit preserves and spicy layers, supported by ripe, velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
