Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.

2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.

The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

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. — 9 years ago

A great wine. I loved it when it was first released. I found one at auction and it still had that "thing" that caught my attention so long ago. Fresh and beautiful at 37. — 11 years ago

I just found this for a ridiculous price at a sort of out of the way liquor store on my way home from the dentist. $60! Had to take a flier on it for that price. The wine is excellent. Darker than expected. Silky tannins with notes of sandalwood and tart cherry. Years of good drinking ahead on this one. — 8 years ago

This showed an intense, exotic and deeply layered nose, as savory cherry gave way to notes of charred meat and Indian spice, before it turned fresh and invigorating with spiced-citrus and wild herbs. On the palate, I found rich, intense yet silky textures with savory cherry and spice, giving way to sweet herbs and a hint of citrus. Is it grapefruit and brown spices or dried orange? It’s hard to tell, but the results are stunning. The finish was lifted and long with sweet tannin coating the senses as notes of sour cherry and orange peel lingered long. This is drop-dead gorgeous--a truly wild yet elegant wine. — 8 years ago

The hints of lime, sans the harsh acidity, apple, and nectarine, make this the perfect summer wine. Be sure to look for deals on this one. I found it for $10.99 at Earth Fare, and that's virtually a steal for such a fantastic white. — 9 years ago

An earth driven nose with overtones of garrigue. This wine was terroir driven vs fruit driven. Compared to the other vintages I found this wine benefited the least from air. — 9 years ago
