Jeb Dunnuck 90pt

The second wine of Chateau Phelan Segur is the 2020 Frank Phelan, a 60/40 split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that was all brought in from the middle of September to the 1st of October. Fresh, lively, medium-bodied, and forward, it has beautiful red fruits as well as floral and spicy nuances, supple, integrated tannins, terrific balance, and outstanding length. This pretty, elegant, already delicious Saint-Estephe is perfect for drinking any time over the coming 10-15 years. As with the Grand Vin, it shines for its balance and class.

James Suckling 93pt

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.
