Château Phélan-Ségur 2014
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
2014 was an up and down vintage across Bordeaux but one that saw particular success in St Estèphe, and it's great to see how well this is doing at six years on. There is clear depth and interest to the brambly fruit on the nose - it unrolls on the palate and makes you feel it has more to give. Could easily drink now although the tannins will integrate further, and should stay at this plateau for a good decade or more. The tannins are slightly chewy, they have give in them and contribute to the feeling of fullness and confidence through the palate. Notes of dark chocolate with St Estèphe power - austere on the finish right now but so juicy and mouthwatering that you're happy to be patient. 3.7pH. Harvest from September 29 to October 14. Drinking window: 2021-2038. Score - 94. (Jane Anson, decanter.com, May 14, 2020)
