Aromas of blackberries, black currants, ink and lead pencil are impressive, highlighting the quality of the cabernet sauvignon in this vintage. So perfumed. Spearmint undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins that run the length of the wine. Silky and caressing with lovely persistence and depth. A fine St.-Estephe. 58% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 1.5% petit verdot and 1.5% cabernet franc. Better than 2022. Best after 2028 but already approachable. Drink or hold.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Saint Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, an esteemed appellation within Bordeaux's Left Bank, exemplifies the power and character of Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. What makes Saint-Estèphe unique is its robust and structured reds, primarily crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The region's maritime influence from the Gironde estuary, coupled with gravelly soils, imparts distinctive minerality and a pronounced tannic backbone to the wines. Home to renowned châteaux like Cos d'Estournel and Montrose, Saint-Estèphe wines showcase a deep, dark fruit profile, nuanced with cedar, tobacco, and earthy notes. Unlike some neighboring appellations, Saint-Estèphe's lack of a formal classification system underscores its commitment to quality across its diverse vineyards. Exploring Saint-Estèphe unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition, terroir, and a focus on the intrinsic character of Cabernet Sauvignon converge to create wines that resonate with strength, complexity, and the artistry of the region's winemakers.

A brilliant wine from this team, if not the best yet, the 2023 Château Phélan Ségur sports a deep purple hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of cassis and darker fruits intermixed with violets, spicy wood, graphite, and spice. Based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 55% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied and has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's well worth seeking out and worth every penny. Roughly 20,800 cases produced. Drink 2026-2040.

93-95 2023 Phelan Segur is a big and intense wine, deep and round with copious amounts of velvety, smooth and creamy fruit. It is already at this stage very pleasant to taste, offering a long and burning cassis infested, sweet aftertaste. In vintages at least since 2009 Phelan Segur has produces wines on Grand Cru Classe level and the 2023 is no exception.

The 2023 Phélan Ségur is superb. Dark and expansive on the palate, the 2023 offers up a gorgeous mélange of black-toned fruit, gravel, incense, lavender, dried herbs and mocha. Rich yet light on its feet, the 2023 is pure seduction. Phélan Ségur is one of the great values in wine. Recent vintages have been especially fine. The 2023 is certainly no exception.

A slightly more pliant version of the AOC, with a gentle coating of warm cocoa and singed cedar over a core of mulled black currant and black cherry fruit. Keeps a suave feel throughout, with flashes of violet, chestnut and warm earth underscoring a structured but fine-grained finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2038.
