2010 Phelan Segur

Tasting notes
The 2010 Phelan Segur is a deep ruby purple, with notes of plums, blackberries, cedar and cassis, supported by very vibrant berries on the palate, delivered in a restrained way. This is a more classic vintage of Phelan Segur than the 2009, but with plenty of substance and depth. asianpalate.com

This sneaks up on you, with blackberry and spices such as nutmeg and cloves. Full spices, with currants and berries. Builds on the palate like a wave. Best ever. jamessuckling.com
Rich, ripe, quite leathery fruit, very good lift and lovely potential complexity, always with a touch of spicy elegance. Drink 2017-26. Steven Spurrier, decanter.com
Fleshy and inviting, with bittersweet cocoa, roasted tobacco, black currant preserve and warm fig sauce notes all defined and well-supported by dusty tannins. James Molesworth, winespectator.com
