The 2010 Phelan-Segur is a remarkable Bordeaux blend from the esteemed St Estephe sub-region of Bordeaux, France. With its deep garnet color, this wine immediately catches the eye and draws you in.

It is a bouquet that boldly announces its presence and promises a complex tasting experience.

On the palate, the 2010 Phelan-Segur reveals a medium to full-bodied profile with a firm line of grippy tannins and just enough freshness to support the maturing black fruits. The wine finishes with a fair bit of chew, leaving a lasting impression on the senses. It is a wine that demands attention and rewards those who take the time to savor its depth and complexity.
