The fruit is there as well

There is a faint sensation of ripeness

this Champagne-method sparkler is a stellar value for the money

finishing long and layered

offering hints of steamed rice with the barest touch of florality and earthiness

Chateau Calon-Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Root Vegetables and Squashes The fruit is there asDelivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
