    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Produced from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Segla is an outstanding example from this high flying second growth. Margaux was arguably the appellation of the vintage, producing sumptuous, graceful wines with power and charm in equal measure. We love the sleek fruit and the purity here. Waves of crème de mûre and floral cassis delight the palate. There’s a real generosity to the fruit; a lavish, creamy texture, which coats the mouth. Although delightful and exceptionally moreish right now, this has so much fruit and such impeccably crafted tannins, we’re sure this will age gracefully for a decade or more.

    Always a consistently impressive 2nd wine, one to to look out for and especially so in exceptional vintages like 2016. You'll find more marked acidity in Segla than Rauzan Ségla in the 2016, giving it a juicy mouthfeel, very much ready to enjoy, with blueberry and redcurrant fruits along with gourmet cocoa bean and liquorice notes. This wine was first introduced in the 1960s, rebranded in 1989, from plots planted on Terraces 3 and 5 (unlike the first wine, which is from largely Terrace 4).

    The 2016 Ségla has a well-defined bouquet whose discreet rose petal and iris aromas lift the black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and quite lively and spicy, leading into a slightly metallic finish, which I suspect will ebb with time. There is good length here. An elegant and quite persistent Margaux. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
