Château Phélan Ségur, St-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France, 2013

Rich depth of colour and slightly smoky, leathery nose, some florality as well, good ripness and good mid-term.

Soft ruby in colour, medium intensity, and firm berry fruit aromatics that also comes through on the attack. This is a successful wine for the vintage, with a feeling of balance and elegance, flavours of soft truffles and smoked earth, with a gentle tannic grip. One to begin drinking now for sure, but there's no hurry to drink up, and this is a great food wine, as it has delicacy but complexity. 2.6pH. Harvest from October 2 to 15.
