Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1998
A strict selection, the use of 40% new oak, and an extended maceration have produced a rich, full-bodied 1989 that offers both power and finesse. Deep ruby/purple, with gobs of red and black fruits in its aroma, this concentrated, impressively structured wine will prove to be a crowd pleaser. It is the finest Phelan-Segur I have ever tasted. Anticipated maturity: Now-2003. Last tasted, 4/91.

A very pretty red for current drinking. Ruby-colored center, and a brick-red edge. Plenty of berry and chocolate aromas. Medium-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a long, ripe plum aftertaste. Delicious now but can hold for years.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now through 2006. -JS
