St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Second wine of Chateau Phelan Segur wine, deep Ruby red color, with aromas of ripe dark fruits, spice and floral herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum with cacao, toasty oak and cinnamon spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, smoky spice, oak and earthy mineral character.

The mid palette showed best with typical Bordeaux merlot characteristics. Finish was a bit flat. At 7 years tannins were resolved. This is good to go.

Dec 18th, 2022Everything you wish for in a very-day Bordeaux.
Black currants, a touch of cedar wood, a bit of gravel and a pinch of spice.
And this ‘16 is singing right now with perfectly mellow tannins, still quite a bit of fruit but the depth of flavors is already shifting. Precise, juicy, on the lighter vs fuller side. So drinkable. Delish!

Excellent classical st Estephe, great value for money.

Beautiful dark pallet of rich fruits but not heavy

Jan 13th, 2023Nice dark aromatics with gravely black fruit, light cedar wood and a uplifting note of menthol & cassis. Plus a very characteristic note of fresh walnuts.
On the palate this is fresh, quite light considering the colour yet with a proper tannic bite (ripe, juicy!) and great balance. Nice finish and surprising depth for a second wine. Kudos for the v. long savoury fruity finish.
This is really good stuff, also for sipping solo.
And surprisingly approachable upon opening.
