在早期20-40年代卡隆色古堡所釀之酒堪稱有一級酒堡的水準，50年代後並沒有太好的表現，有人歸罪於裝瓶太晚導致有點氧化，缺乏果香反倒有過多的老木味，直到1982年後又讓人耳目一新，恢復以前的水準；1988, 1989，1990, 1995, 1996的酒質直逼二級酒堡Cos d’Estournel以及Montrose，2003年份更是得到近百分的評價，遠遠超過釵h二級酒莊，卡隆色古堡堅持傳統，以釀製長壽可久藏之酒為驕傲

This great St.-Estephe estate has turned out a succession of brilliant wines. The 2005, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, has put on weight over the last year. An opaque ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a sweet nose of earth, smoke, cassis, and cherries as well as a textured, full-bodied mouthfeel. While the tannin is high, there is beautifully sweet fruit underlying the wine’s structure. It will require 8-10 years of cellaring after release, and should drink well for three decades.
