Château Phélan Ségur 2015

Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Dark ruby red colour. Youthful nose blending some new oak, with cedar wood, tobacco, red and dark berries. Good grip on the palate, dense but fresh with young but ripe tannin, layered fruit, crushed berries and cassis with some tobacco and fine oak flavours. Long and persistent, stylish and potent.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Phélan Ségur has a nose of red and black currants with earthy notes of fungi, dried herbs, damp soil and tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied with a good fruit core, firm and chewy tannins and nice freshness.

I was able to taste the 2015 Phelan Segur on multiple occasion and it showed beautifully both times. Black currants, scorched earth, espresso and hints of chocolate all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, firm, structured, dense Saint-Estèphe. It needs 3-4 years of bottle age but will see its 20th birthday in fine form.

James Suckling

A beautifully perfumed young red with blackcurrants, blackberries and dark chocolate. Some sweet tobacco. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a very balanced and refined palate, showing focus and tightness. This needs time to open. Try after 2023.
