Einer unserer Lieblingsweine des Bordeaux-Jahrgangs 2018. Ein Wein der alles mitbringt
Finesse und Eleganz Power und Fülle! Sehr fein und zugleich voll im Geruch wirkt er warm
cremig fruchtintensiv und betörend. Zu dem Preis eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung! James
Suckling: 95-96 100 Punkte »This is the most powerful Phélan Segur I have ever tasted. A solid
core of dense fruit and layered tannins that are so refined and polished. Remains fresh
energetic and bright. Yet there’s plenty of harmony and balance.« Decanter: 94 100 Punkte
»This is good quality in 2018 as it has consistently been over the past few vintages. It has a
silky texture and is powerful but restrained displaying the freshness and power of the clay
that underpins the soils here and demonstrating just how good the Merlots were when they were
picked at full ripeness but not more - here they were also given one week less than usual for
the extraction. There's plenty of concentration here but it's hidden latent reserving its
energy for the long haul. Harvest took place between 24 September and 11 October with a good
yield of 49hl ha. 60% of the production went into the grand vin. 3.8pH. 77IPT. Drinking Window
2026 - 2040« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95 100 Punkte »The 2018 Phélan Ségur is a blend
of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot harvested from September 14 to October 4. The wine
comes in at 14% alcohol 3.8 pH and has an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 77. Deep
purple-black in color it springs from the glass with bright vibrant notes of raspberry
preserves kirsch and ripe blackcurrants with hints of rose petals tilled black soil spice
cake and warm plums plus a waft of star anise. Medium to full-bodied with a solid backbone of
grainy tannins and seamless freshness the palate sports a taut muscular fruit profile with
loads of bright red fruit sparks and a long earthy finish.« Falstaff: 93 100 Punkte
»Tiefdunkles Rubingranat violette Reflexe zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig unterlegte
schwarze Kirschfrucht Brombeerkonfit kandierte Orangenzesten feiner Schokoladeanklang.
Saftig straff schwarze Beeren feine Süße gut strukturiert mineralisch und anhaftend
sicheres Reifepotenzial.« Wine Enthusiast: 91-93 100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. A layer of new
wood is very present in this wine giving smoky and spicy characters to the overall experience.
These tones will need time to integrate with the blackberry fruits that are lurking
underneath.« Wine Spectator: 90-93 100 Punkte »Lively with juicy plum and black cherry fruit
supported by tobacco and toast accents in the end. An alluring whiff of incense swirls through
the slightly dusty finish.« Vinum: 17 20 Punkte »Herrliche Aromatik von frischen Beeren und
einem Hauch Veilchen voller Ansatz erstklassiges präsentes aber untadliges lückenlos
dichtes Tannin langes fruchtiges Finale in dem der Alkohol nur begrenzt spürbar wird
ausserordentlich auch in diesem Jahr. 2028 bis 2040« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen
