Falstaff: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Herzkirschen, Ribiseln, ein Hauch von Gewürznelken, Orangenzesten, tabakige Nuancen. Kräftig, mit 15 % Alkohol kein Fliegengewicht, aber gut balanciert, Kirschen, Zwetschken und Nugat im Abgang, ein Wein zu Grillgerichten, gutes Reifepotenzial."

James Suckling: "A racy and refined red with currants and crushed stone character as well as ovaltine. Medium-bodied. Polished and focused."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Spearmint, cigar wrapper, black pit fruits, and licorice show in the nose. On the palate, the wine is sweet, fresh, and chalky with loads of currants, and a touch of licorice in the fruit-packed finish. The wine is a blend of 58% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. 15% ABV, 3.65 pH. Drink from 2025-2040."

Wine Advocate: "One of several over-performing second wines in this vintage is the 2022 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless Saint-Estèphe redolent of minty berries, licorice and rose petals. Lively and penetrating, it punches above its weight."

Weinwisser: "58 % Merlot, 38 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot, 15 Vol.-%, pH 3.65, 26 hl/ha. Intensives Bouquet, dunkles Edelholz, dominikanischer Tabak und Holundergelee. Am kompakten Gaumen mit zupackendem Tanningerüst, fein mürbe werdend, muskulöser Körper. Im gebündelten, langanhaltenden Finale Wildkirsche, Schwarzbrot und körnige Adstringenz. 2029 – 2043."

Jeb Dunnuck: "The second wine of Calon Ségur, the 2022 Le Marquis De Calon is more Merlot-dominated and checks in as 58% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has an up-front, lush, medium to full-bodied style as well as textbook notes of darker, currant-like fruits, leafy herbs, and lead pencil savings. It's an outstanding second wine that will shine right out of the gate."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: „A blend of 58% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Le Marquis de Calon Segur is deep garnet-purple in color. It strides out of the glass with confident blackcurrant jelly and blueberry pie notes, giving way to suggestions of Indian spices, dusty soil, and unsmoked cigars. Big, rich, and generously fruited, the full-bodied palate is well-supported by firm, rounded tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing with great length. pH 3.65."
