What the critics say
96 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 01-01-1998
The 1928 revealed an opaque garnet color with a coffee-like look at the edge. Late-harvest-like in the nose, with a plummy, Asian spice, leather, and molassas-like aromas and flavors, this thick, extremely sweet, rich, full-bodied wine is astonishingly intense. It is all glycerin, richness, and intensity, with no hard edges, making one a true believer of the extraordinary longevity of Bordeaux's greatest wines. This may be the greatest ancient vintage of Calon-Segur, although the 1926 is a close rival. Last tasted 12/95

One wine not currently on the database, at least until now, is the 1928 Calon-Ségur. I first tasted it in 2008 with former proprietor, the redoubtable “headmistress” of Saint-Estèphe, the late Mme. Gasqueton. Her husband’s grandfather Georges served as co-proprietor in 1928, with the Hanappier family. The Gasquetons were always in charge of the winemaking at Calon-Ségur, though their home was Château Capbern. Unfortunately, I found the wine rather hard and rustic, lacking the fruit to keep it in balance. Another bottle appeared at a dinner back in 2018. Maybe this would attest the euphoric review of one Robert Parker? Alas, it bore similarities to the bottle ten years earlier. A slightly musty nose of black fruit, mocha and singed leather, the palate had those mouth-gripping tannins, without the counterbalancing fruit that would render the wine balanced and pleasurable. It was drinkable for 10-15 minutes before keeling over. The moral of this story? Even bottles from famous producers in legendary vintages can sometimes fail to live up to expectations. But always live by the maxim: next time lucky.
