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.

Wonderfully bold, red fruit bouquets and notes all the way from the start to the finish. A masterpiece.

Drank it at home with John and David T. Had cheese plate and rack of lamb with cumin toasted vegetables and humus. Could have been chubbier. There were no comments at the table. Enjoyed it and found it more memorable when I drank it with chateaubriand on New Year's Eve.

시간이 갈수록 강해지는 바닐라향. 발란스가 좋지않다

1-2시간 후부터 좋아짐. 흙향, 바나나향. 신맛과 씁쓸한 맛이 적절함. 다채로운 맛, 긴 피니쉬

07' vintage, consumed Sep 15'

After decanting for 2.5hrs, tastes like a good table wine.

Will not purchase again.
