This is a touch old-school, with bay and tobacco notes out front followed by alder, warm earth and steeped black currant flavors. The grippy finish lets the fruit and earth notes wrestle a bit, leaving a chewy feel. Will settle with cellaring, but this is not for fans of finesse. Best from 2022 through 2035. 15,000 cases made. -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

Vinous

Another sleeper from Saint-Estephe, the 2016 Phelan Segur is super impressive. An enticing bouquet laced with crushed rocks, graphite, iron, smoke, lavender, mint and inky blue/purplish fruit makes a strong opening statement. A wine of power, resonance and gravitas, the 2016 Phelan is remarkably expressive and also full of potential. Tasted two times. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous
