Intense ruby red colour with purple reflections. Pure nose with an incredible intensity, dominated by notes of red fruit at perfect ripeness. Rich and harmonious attack, exceptional tannic structure, persistent and fleshy finish. Freshness, balance and great power characterise the vintage.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"This is the most powerful Phelan Segur I have ever tasted. A solid core of dense fruit and layered tannins that are so refined and polished. Remains fresh, energetic and bright. Yet, there's plenty of harmony and balance.
(95-96/100) points, James Suckling, 2019
"Black to the crimson rim. Smells dark and ripe on the nose. Dried cherry rather than fresh cassis. On the palate, much more savoury, super-intense and not yet showing itself. Deep, chewy, just fresh enough. The tannins glue the mouth together at the moment but that dark and savoury fruit is lovely on the long finish." Drink 2028-2040
17+/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, October 2020
