Saint-Estephe

Austere opening, you feel the shape and length of the tannins, well placed and skilfully constructed, with slim Cabernet floral rose petals and peony notes alongside savoury bilberry fruit, touch of liquorice bud and fresh juice on this finish. Finessed, drawn out, expertly constructed. Harvest 30 September to 14 October. 30 hl/ha. 55% new oak. 3.72 pH, Veronique Dausse director. Tasted twice.

Inside Bordeaux

Medium intensity colour, a ton of grip, juicy blackberry fruits, along with wild strawberries and pomegranate, sage and fennel;, very easy to drink, but with plenty of personality, this is a 2nd wine to look out for. No new oak for ageing. Philippe Van de Vyvere owner, Veronique Dausse director. 10% press wine.

Amatør

They do a great job at Phélan of maintaining estate character consistently, and here you get the damson and blackberry fruit of St Estephe, with a full mid palate. The tannins are a little angular through the finish from the fresh acidities but this is an enjoyable wine. Harvest September 29 to October 13. IPT 85. 55% new oak. An upscore, tasted twice.

Delivering, as it so often does, richly textured, concentrated and powerful black fruits, a sterling example of the 2020 vintage in St Estèphe, turmeric, crayon and smoked earth notes, lime blossom and pomegranate adding texture and complexity, great stuff. Yields 40hl/ha, harvest September 16 through to October 1, finishing around 10 days earlier than the past two years. Consultants Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud. First vintage with Petit Verdot included in the main wine, from vines planted in 2013.

WSET 3

Dyp rød!
Dufter av mørke røde bær, solbær og hint av bjørnebær og jordlige toner!
Fyldig, fin syre, fin frukt, mørke røde bær på smak, mye av lukten gjenspeiler seg i smaken, sitter godt og lenge! 

The 2013 Phelan Segur has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It offers meagre notes of dried herbs, pencil lead, and tobacco leaf, with a core of dried cranberries and fig paste. The light to medium-bodied palate is a little thin and green, with chewy tannins and an herbs-laced finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

En delikat duft av røde og mørke bær, inkludert solbær, bjørnebær, og kirsebær, samt noe krydder og kanel. 

En smak av rustikke rød- modne bær, som kirsebær og solbær, og noe tobakk og lakris. Et snev også av pepper og nellik. Fin syre, med ok konsentrasjon. 

90-91p.

Ripe blackberry fruits, with some powerful tannins and a ton of sandalwood and cedar oak. More exuberant than the sculpted wines that Phelan has been making in recent years, this is fully in the spirit of a ripe 2009, enjoyable and full of personality, a little overworked. 50% new oak for ageing, Michel Rolland consultant.
