Chateau Phelan Segur 2009

“Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Phélan Ségur leaps from the glass with scents of crème de cassis, molten chocolate, licorice and blueberry compote with touches of cardamom, Morello cherries and dried mint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals beautiful poise with a fine frame of grainy tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and mineral laced.” 93/100, Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Mar'2019

“Solid wine. Bright blueberry and floral aromas follow through to a full body, with soft, velvety tannins and a long finish. Best since 1989. Try after 2017.” 93/100 James Suckling, Mar'2012

“Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Some rather obvious – oak related? – sweetness on the nose. A strangely voluptuous wine that is atypical of the appellation. Something a bit charred about the finish. Non classic – almost right bank!” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson, Mar'2019
