Château Phélan Ségur 2015, third best ranking of Saint-Estèphe.

“The 2015 Phélan Ségur … is certainly one of the better offerings from the Saint Estèphe appellation. For sure, the bouquet is restrained, kept on a leash, but it trots along with crisp blackberry and raspberry fruit, interwoven with an attractive pencil lead note. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin. It is structured and quite bold, … clearly a lot of sorting here that engenders a clean and pure wine with appreciable mineralité and tension on the foursquare finish. …”
