Château Phélan Ségur Saint-Estèphe 2007

Blog

If my research is correct, the 2007 vintage of Phélan Ségur is pre-consultation with Michel Rolland. Parker routinely scored these wines in the mid-to-lower 80s, clearly he didn’t care for them. The 2007 is old-school Saint-Estèphe, with brooding aromas of coffee grounds, black currents, barnyard funk and freshly overturned soil. Fine tannins on the attack, tinged with cedar, and smartly capped off with dried herbs and minerals. For its price, I found it to be enjoyable.
