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。

Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at fifteen years old, it has a brilliant, vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas. The detail here is a beguiling and it just "sings" Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone, but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity. It finishes with a twist of bitter cherry on the finish that completes what is a deeply impressive Calon-Ségur; it might just outclass the 2005. Tasted March 2015.
