Score 75/100 · Drink 1978, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Lacking fruit and coarsely textured, with a damp earthy, musty aroma, and modest flavors and proportions, this wine is still holding together, but seems to hold little promise for the future. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 6/78.

Wedding gift lists traditionally include wine glasses or cutlery, but in 1718, Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the owner of Château Lafite and Château Latour and president of the Bordeaux parliament, received a rather more impressive present: Château Calon.
