Phélan Ségur 2012 is a red wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Médoc. The 70-hectare vineyard features a terroir of gravel, sand and clay-based soils, which provide the ideal foundation for its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 2012 growing season in the Médoc was marked by a late harvest, resulting in wines with fresh fruit and refined tannins. This bottling offers layers of black cherries, plums and espresso, with a finish that includes notes of chocolate and liquorice. Winemaking involves careful extraction to produce a wine that is polished and lush. The oak is well-integrated, supporting a silky texture and a balanced, lively acidity.

The 2012 Phélan Ségur has a light minty bouquet that lacks a bit of vigour, though it opens nicely in the glass to reveal more spicebox aromas, yet after 5 minutes it begins to oxidise. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannins, fine acidity, cohesive but not deep. Grippy and ferrous, some dryness seems to develop with aeration. I have definitely encountered better bottles, hence the question mark against my score. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting. Neal Martin27th September 2022
