CHATEAU PHELAN-SEGUR 'Frank Phelan' Saint-Estephe 2020 Bottle

Description

Created in honour of the founder's son, Frank Phelan is the superb second wine of the prestigious Chateau Phelan Segur in Saint Estephe. The 2020 vintage is a brilliant expression of this renowned Bordeaux appellation, offering remarkable value and immediate drinking pleasure while retaining excellent ageing potential.

Crafted from a careful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this vintage pours a deep ruby colour. The nose is incredibly inviting, bursting with generous aromas of ripe blackberries, juicy cassis, and subtle hints of cedar and baking spice. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced and wonderfully structured, showcasing supple tannins and a gorgeously smooth texture.

This elegant wine pairs brilliantly with roast lamb, rich beef stews, or a mature cheddar cheese.

JAMES SUCKLING 93 points
"Lots of spices and blackcurrants with graphite and dark bark. Full-bodied and structured with lightly chewy tannins and a firm, velvety tannin texture. It shows length and intensity. Second wine of Phelan-Segur. Give this at least three to four years of bottle age."
