A pleasant, medium ruby-colored 2013 St. Estephe, this cuvee offers up notes of black cherries, spice box and minerals. Moderately endowed, cleanly made, and adequate for near-term drinking, it can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. 2014-2019 Rating: 82-85 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Aug 2014)

Good full ruby-red. Very minty blueberry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by cedar and leather. Seems to lack a little fruit on entry, then turns distinctly lusher in the middle, displaying a restrained sweetness to the flavors of minty blackcurrant, graphite and cedar. Finishes with mouthcoating but not drying tannins. Rating: 86-89 Ian d'Agata - Stephen Tanzer website (May 2014)
Although the nose is firm there is more fruit at the back and the palate start with richer black cherry and cassis. Fresher at the back the tannins are in evidence tending to shorten the finish. 2020-30 Rating: 85-89 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (May 2014)
This is the best of the second rank of St Estèphes for my money. Made with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, it’s less firm and tannic than some with well integrated oak, minerally acidity, supple tannins and appealing black fruits. 2018-24 Rating: 93 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (May 2014)
Château Phélan Ségur
Château Phélan-Ségur is a Cru Bourgeois St. Estèphe property that produces textbook meaty, solid and long-lived St. Estèphes. It was bought by Xavier Gardinier in 1985 and is now run by his sons, Thierry and Laurent. Phélan-Ségur's 66 hectares of vineyards are well-sited near the Grionde estuary and lies on well drained gravel soils. The vineyards are bordered by those of Château Montrose and Château Calon-Ségur. Phélan-Ségur's wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and the wine is then matured in oak barriques (30% new) for 15 months. Phélan-Ségur usually requires at least 5-7 years of bottle ageing to show at its best and the best vintages can continue improving for up to 15 years.
