Description
This beautiful 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, a vigorous youthfulness, and plenty of mulberry, black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of cedarwood, baking spices and roasted herbs. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, fresh and precise, this wine is just hitting full maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years.

Tasting note
2003年的卡龍世家展現了聖愛斯臺夫無與倫比的優雅。這款酒呈現出深邃的暗紅寶石色澤,幾乎不透光,預示著等待味蕾的深度體驗。泥土的底蘊和新鮮的黑加侖子果香主導了嗅覺,而口感則享受著酸度和堅實細膩單寧的和諧融合。酒精的平衡無可挑剔,貢獻了酒的經典嚴謹風格。收結悠長,這款酒是卡龍世家追求不矯揉造作的精緻的典範代表。醒酒兩小時將展現其全部風味,使其成為烤羊肉或牛肉紅酒燉菜等豐盛菜餚的理想伴侶。
The 2003 Chateau Calon-Segur is a testament to the timeless elegance of Saint-Estephe. This vintage reveals a deep, dark ruby-red hue that is nearly opaque, hinting at the depth of experience awaiting the palate. Earthy undertones and fresh cassis fruit dominate the nose, while the palate enjoys a harmonious blend of acidity and firm, fine tannins. The balance of alcohol is impeccable, contributing to the wine's classic austere style. With a good length on the finish, this wine is an exemplary representation of Calon-Segur's dedication to finesse without arrogance. Decanting for two hours will unveil its full spectrum of flavors, making it an ideal companion to hearty dishes like roast lamb or beef bourguignon.
