Château Phélan Ségur, St Estèphe,

Another estate making great progress. The 2009 is certainly the best young wine we have tasted from Phelan Segur, packed with sweet damsons, red berries, violets, cloves and purple fruits. The palate has real depth and is beautifully focussed with bright cherry liqueur flavours and a lovely mineral character. Very stylish with beautifully managed tannins and a satin texture. Hopefully one of the best values from 2009.
