Frank Phélan, Saint-Estèphe 2014, Château Phélan Ségur

This is absolutely classic, old-school Saint Estèphe of excellent quality. Deep, purple-hued, with a nose of mulberries, blackcurrants and cedar, the wine is densely-textured and medium-bodied, with good balancing acidity and a seriously endowed, layered texture. The tannins are present, yet well-integrated and ripe.
