93pts James Suckling

A linear yet juicy red with compressed, ripe tannins with lots of spices and ripe berries, as well as hazelnuts. Medium to full body, creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Excellent second wine from Phélan Segur. Drink in 2022.

90pts Jeb Dunnuck

The second wine of Phélan Ségur in Saint-Estèphe, the 2018 Frank Phélan has a terrific nose of ripe dark currants, black cherries, leafy herbs, and spring flowers. This plump, medium-bodied, fruit-forward and undeniably delicious 2018 is already hard to resist yet is going to easily keep for a good decade. It's a hidden gem of a Saint-Estèphe.
