Chateau Phelan-Segur 2015: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Color
The color is bright with ruby highlights.
Nose
Rich, the nose blends fruity fragrances (strawberry, cherry) with subtle notes of liquorice and smoke.
Palate
Tender and delicious, the palate is seduced by this wine’s balance, its powerful tannins, its concentration and its rich aromatic palette.
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Phélan Ségur has a nose of red and black currants with earthy notes of fungi, dried herbs, damp soil and tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied with a good fruit core, firm and chewy tannins and nice freshness.
