Property of Mr Flabby Less
Frank Phelan, 2009, Saint-Estephe, Bordeaux
Deep,
concentrated ruby in color. Rich, complex ripe red and black fruits aromas
on the nose and flavours on the palate. Tastes of interwoven blackberry and raspberry
jam with smooth dark chocolate. Excellent
structure. Approachable tannins and acidity. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet sauvignon. Drinking
well now, but it will age beautifully through 2018.
Although this is the second label of Chateau Phelan-Segur, it doesn't
feel as if it's second best. Sure it's much more affordable compared to
it bigger brother but Frank Phelan stands on its own pedestal and wears
its own crown.
