Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 05 Oct 22
The 2005 Phelan Segur is made from 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-brick colored, it needs a bit of swirling to unlock fragrant notes of rose oil, star anise, and fertile loam, leading to a core of preserved plums, dried blackberries, and warm cassis with a touch of graphite. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energetic black fruits and floral accents, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced.

One of the stronger efforts in St.-Estèphe in 2005, this Phélan-Sègur exhibits good depth of fruit, including mulberry, black and red currants, earth and spice. It is medium-bodied, with sweet tannin and excellent concentration. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
Drinking Date: 2015 - 2030

Tasted blind. Sweet fruit and fine tannins. Luscious and sinewy. Bit of a ballet dancer. Dry finish in a St-Estèphe sort of way. Reverberant finish. Refined and appetising. Bravo! (JR)

Saint-Estèphe Fine Wine

Saint-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the northern Médoc, is known for robust, full-bodied red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These wines are deeply coloured, with firm tannins and rich flavours of dark fruits, earth, and spice, making them structured and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose, and Château Calon-Ségur. The region's gravelly and clay-rich soils contribute to the wines' distinctive character and complexity.
