Château Phélan Ségur 2017 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers richness as well as cncentration. It reveals notes of cassis, black berries and more slightly fleshy wild strawberry associated with small touches of liquorcie/cola, oak, cocoa, chocolate, sweet spices as well as an imperceptible hint of Sichuan pepper and tea (in the background). The palate is mineral, fresh, well-balanced, racy, fine, tight, precise and offers a fine grain as well as a good definition. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis, black cherry and more slightly crunchy wild red fruits associated with touches of minerality/graphite, liquorice/zan as well as a discreet touch of tonka bean. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
