  "Im Duft dunkle, würzige Röstaromatik und blaue Frucht (Heidelbeeren). Dazu gesellen sich eine feine Lakritznote und Schokolade. Dichter, fest gewobener Gaumen mit guter Tiefe und samtigem Trinkfluss, die feinen Röstnoten haben sich seit den Primeurs deutlich integriert. Viel klare, satte Frucht und füllige Dichte spiegeln den warmen Jahrgang wider, ebenso wie das geschliffene, edle Tannin und die reifere Säure. Liegen lassen!"

  "A beautifully perfumed young red with blackcurrants, blackberries and dark chocolate. Some sweet tobacco. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a very balanced and refined palate, showing focus and tightness. This needs time to open. Try after 2023."

  "Touch of reduction on the first nose that needs time to clear. This has ripe red fruits, liquorice, crushed stone, and some lovely grilled cedar oak notes, but it feels more evolved than I expected at five years old. A number of 2015s are closed right now, so this may be the case here, but for sheer pleasure my money would be on the 2014 if you are looking to drink soon. 3.79pH."

  "This spicy wine shows how far the estate has moved from its over-use of new wood. In this bottling, the wood is subtle and doesn't mask the rich fruit and the juicy acidity. It still has the structure of a Saint-Estèphe while keeping everything in good balance. Drink from 2024."

  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, einladende florale Nuancen, Anklänge von Heidelbeeren und Nougat, reife Pflaumenfrucht, ein Hauch von Edelholz. Saftig, gute Komplexität, schwarze Beerenfrucht, straffe, tragende Tannine, extraktsüßer Abgang, frisch strukturiert, Kirschen im Rückgeschmack, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial."

  "Espresso, tobacco leaf, blackberry, cigar box, and underbrush notes shine through on the nose. On the palate, the wine is lush, round, polished and a bit show. The fruit is soft, supple, creamy, and sweet, with staying power in the finish. Drink from 2023-2036."

  "I was able to taste the 2015 Phelan Segur on multiple occasion and it showed beautifully both times. Black currants, scorched earth, espresso and hints of chocolate all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, firm, structured, dense Saint-Estèphe. It needs 3-4 years of bottle age but will see its 20th birthday in fine form."

  "Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2015 Phelan Segur slowly reveals notes of crushed red and black currants, warm plums and black tea, plus hints of dried bay leaves and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, the palate has subtle black and red berry flavors with chewy tannins and an herbal lift on the finish."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Phélan Ségur has a nose of red and black currants with earthy notes of fungi, dried herbs, damp soil and tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied with a good fruit core, firm and chewy tannins and nice freshness."
