23. Château Calon Ségur, St‑Estèphe (L) “In the winery’s style, this is seriously dense with solid tannins and concentration. It is a powerful wine with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that has structure and dense black fruits, The wine is likely to age well. Drink from 2028.” 97 pts, Wine Enthusiast 411937, 440996 6 bottle limit $250 24. Château de Camensac, Haut‑Médoc “Smooth and supple, fruity and fun, lifted strawberries and cherries fill the mouth before quite salty, mineral tannins take their place. But it’s clean and pure with a lovely finesse to the expression if not quite the persistence of fruit but this does have a long finish. This will be great in time, has the potential.” Drink 2026 - 2039 91 pts, Decanter 434293 $70 25. Château Canon, St-Émilion Grand Cru “The 2021 Canon shows just how magical the site is. Vertical and explosive in feel, with tons of pure power, it impresses with its intesity, drive and super-classic profile. Bright saline notes and vibrant tannins give the 2021 a feeling of energy that only gains momentum with time in the glass. It’s not an easy Canon, like the 2015 or 2018, but it is incredibly expressive. It is sort of wine that only truly emerges with time in bottle. I would be thrilled to own it. Canon must surely be one of the great relative values in first-class wine. Wow. Tasted two times.” Drink 2031 - 2061 97 pts, Vinous 435782, 450142 $275
