So I've had a few vintages of this wine. Not been happy with them. But this 05, the first one made, is good. Bought on futures. At 11 years it's showing almost the right amount of age. I'd say drink in next 5 years. Well worth under 50 bucks. I think I paid 40. — 10 years ago
Big, bold and transparent to its terroir. It breath, smells, feels and tastes like Napa. And this is what I love about it. Winemaking is not too invasive and the barrel use is present yet not overwhelming. I may be wrong but I feel a Michel Rolland influence here which is ok. Love that there is a great balance between juice, fruit and tannins seriousness. A delicious wine indeed. — 10 years ago

I'm big fan of Michel Rolland, but it had lots of oak and some Brett which was a little overwhelming. Softy tannins and deep black fruit. — 9 years ago

If my research is correct, the 2007 vintage of Phélan Ségur is pre-consultation with Michel Rolland. Parker routinely scored these wines in the mid-to-lower 80s, clearly he didn't care for them. The 2007 is old-school Saint-Estèphe, with brooding aromas of coffee grounds, black currents, barnyard funk and freshly overturned soil. Fine tannins on the attack, tinged with cedar, and smartly capped off with dried herbs and minerals. For its price, I found it to be enjoyable. — 10 years ago

This is interesting to me. I've had a few vintages of this merlot and enjoyed them all. Even though this is a Michel Rolland styled effort, it shows as an unmistakably new world merlot. Lots of plum and blueberry, very little of the restraint you'd see in a right bank Bordeaux. — 9 years ago
