    Just Wow! This is still an infant but it is so balanced it is still extremely enjoyable now. Decanted for two hours and enjoyed with filet mignon and cheezy potatoes. The tannins are there but not overly harsh. The fat from the meat and cheese cut through the tannin and let the fruit shine through. I’m so happy to have over a case of this and can only imagine how good the 2016 will be. I’ll try to hold off another 5 years before having again but boy it will be tough. (94 pts.)

As I have posted before, the 2014 vintage has been remarkably ready to drink, but with enough stuffing to promise a very long enjoyability window.

Thanks for the note Gerry, great vintage of Calon at sane pricing, double win.

I really regret not having bought this in futures along with my other 2014 purchases. Your note makes me wanna grab it even at the current fare of $100.
