Vintage 2004 | good ripened Saint Estephe that has a complex smell: cedar, vanilla, plums, leatherimpressions. Well balanced, now a point. | paired with Sheperd’s Pie.

Lighter in color than the 2005, this shows a good degree of earthy terroir on the nose with wild mushroom, pipe tobacco, blood orange rind, and salted meats that fills the glass. The mouthfeel is really plush, as this delivers medium-bodied flavors of red cherry puree, truffled boysenberry, cassis and a strong saline streak. Plush and soft, this is drinking in its sweet spot. This has a wonderful sense of place. Drink 2018-2028- 91

Really great showing for this wine. Still quite youthful, but the tannin is giving way to lush fruit, with a fine mineral streak.

Very fruity, violette, flowers, saffron, red fruits and dark fruits, blackberry, blueberry, complexe!
I usualy don't apreciate Bordeaux that much but Phélan Ségur is really nice 😊

Little dusty and earthy, but approachable with some air.

Very classy, but far to young. Ten years is not enough!

The wine was kept for 6 years in cellar, maybe too cold. Was not as good as I had of the same wintage 7 years ago. After decanterisation and some hour became better.
