Phelan Segur 1996 presents a deep garnet color, showcasing its age with a hint of brick at the rim. The nose is pronounced, revealing aromas of dark fruit, particularly blackcurrant and plum, alongside earthy undertones and a touch of leather. There are subtle notes of cedar and tobacco, indicative of its maturation in oak barrels, which adds complexity to the bouquet.
On the palate, the wine exhibits a medium body with moderate acidity and firm tannins, contributing to its structure. Flavors of dark cherries and baked plums are evolved, paired with a slight herbal bitterness. This vintage, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, reflects the character of its Bordeaux terroir, making it a representative example of the region`s style during the late 90s.

Vinous
Fuller ruby-red. More subtle, perfumed aromas of black cherry, currant, and nutty, spicy oak. Supple and fleshy, with good depth of flavor and a ripe chocolatey quality. Offers good density and richness. Finishes with slightly aggressive tannins and very good length.Stephen Tanzer1st May 1999
