Château PHELAN-SEGUR 2019 double-magnum 300 cl

Description

Neal Martin 93-95 points www.vinous.com
The 2019 Phélan Ségur has a very composed bouquet with detailed blackberry and briary scents, a touch of melted tar and cracked black pepper coming through with aeration. The palate is very cohesive with fine tannins, gentle grip, quite saline in the mouth with impressive density and harmony towards the finish. Quintessentially Saint-Estèphe, this is a superb Phélan Ségur that should not be under-estimated. Tasted twice.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Phélan Ségur prances out of the glass with bold notions of blackcurrant pastilles, baked plums and boysenberries, plus hints of chargrilled meats, lavender, tilled soil and cracked black pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is like a tightly coiled spring, featuring loads of condensed black fruit and fragrant layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with bags of energy.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité frais, mûr et subtil. Bouche moelleuse à l’attaque, fondante en milieu de bouche, très savoureuse, s’achevant avec un joli relief aromatique et une bonne longueur à la tannicité enveloppée. Assemblage : 55 % cabernet sauvignon, 45 % merlot. Degré d’alcool : 14°5 – pH : 3,65.

The 2019 Phélan Ségur is marvelous. In fact, it is one of the best vintages I can remember tasting. Graphite, crushed rocks, menthol, licorice, crème de cassis and lavender are some of the many notes that flesh out in the glass. Wonderfully nuanced and layered, the 2019 Phélan Ségur is a wine of unreal depth and vivid intensity. In a word: impressive.
