Chateau Phelan Segur 1989

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (88)

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.

Winespectator (88)

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.
