Marquis de Calon Ségur, St Estèphe, 2009

After the magnificent Capbern, this feels a little lit looser knit and less harmonious, the additional Merlot lends a charming florality, and a smoother, rounder texture. Some alluring glossy fruit – the oak is more present. It is definitely a big step up for Marquis, but for our tastes it has to be Capbern every time.
