Fresh blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite, chocolate and spearmint on the nose. Medium to full body, with sleek and well-integrated tannins. Fruity and approachable for the appellation, with a cool, minty finish. Second wine of Calon Segur. Better after 2024. -JamesSuckling.com

The second wine of Château Calon Ségur, the 2020 Le Marquis De Calon Ségur is unquestionably noteworthy. A blend of 54% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, it spent 17 months in 30% new French oak, with the balance in once-used oak. Redcurrants, chocolate, spice, graphite, and a kiss of spicy wood all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and terrific purity. I'd happily drink a glass any time over the coming 10-15 years. - Jeb Dunnuck

Fresh berries, quite ripe and forward on the nose, more fruity with some chocolate and cinnamon notes. Super-high acidity, really quite mouthwatering on initial impact, this has a nice weight and balance in the mouth, a soft plumpness and wide frame. Nothing too much, it keeps the intensity but also the focus. You do get a sense of the hot vintage in the slightly spiced undercurrent but this has a nice playfulness. It's bouncy and lively, really accessible, integrated, very slightly grippy tannins. Good push from start to finish. Round and smooth, easy to have with food, lovely generosity and openness while keeping the strict St-Estèphe touch.-Georgina Hindle, Decanter

This is well built, stacked with tannins, luxurious and dripping in cocoa bean, dark chocolate, blackberry and damson fruits. Clear edge of power and smoked cedar oak. Around 53% of overall production, 33hl/h yield, 30% new oak.-Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

This second wine has firm tannins and ripe black fruits. It certainly has the density and structure of classic Saint-Estèphe, giving a wine that has weight and needs time to develop. Drink from 2027. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

This baby Calon Segur, with all of its spice, leafy tobacco, currants and herbs is already hitting the spot. Medium-bodied, vibrant and fresh with layers of sweet, ripe, red pit fruits and a touch of spicy cocoa is perfect to enjoy while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. Drink from 2023-2040.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

Broad and fresh, with damson plum and black cherry notes that glide along, laced with a bright iron hint and backed by a violet accent. Approachable now. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Le Marquis de Calon Segur 2020 has a deep garnet-purple color. It opens with notes of cedar, baked plums, and stewed black cherries, followed by hints of spice cake and tapenade. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and laden with spicy black fruits, supported by chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with impressive length. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

Dark ruby, purple reflections, soft brightening on the rim. Intense cassis and blackberry notes, tobacco nuances, a touch rustic. Powerful, notes of liquorice and nougat, taut tannins, a fresh acidity, salty, mineral, a bit demanding on the finish, further elegance on the horizon with longer ageing.-Peter Moser, Falstaff

The 2020 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 14.6%. It is aging for an anticipated 17 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. Deep purple-black in color, it bursts from the glass with bombastic scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and blueberry pie with nuances of violets and licorice, plus a waft of menthol. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black fruits with plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing spicy. This is a very different style from the grand vin (Calon-Ségur), but also very delicious. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Tasted blind. Very dark with narrow rim. Really fragrant but subtle, fresh aroma of black fruit with a light leafy as well as riper damson note. Juicy, fresh, refined tannins. Elegant and harmonious with lots of freshness and length.-Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson
