James Suckling (94-95)This is impressive, big and very structured at the beginning, but then it opens and spreads out with ultra-fine tannins that caress the palate. Really opens at the end and finds its weightless state. Serious. 50% cabernet sauvignon and 49% merlot, 1% cabernet franc. |

Wine Advocate (88)Always an exuberant, richly fruity wine that shows classic Bordeaux hallmarks, this blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has plenty of black fruits, truffle, graphite and licorice as well as sweet tannins in a medium-bodied, richly fruity, glycerin-endowed style that makes for a very seductive wine meant to be drunk over the next 7-8 years. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2019 Petit Bocq is a stylish, exuberant Saint-Estèphe to drink now and over the next decade. Plush dark fruit, spice, leather, scorched earth, menthol and chocolate are pushed forward. There is so much to like, starting with the wine's engaging personality. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 86-88 (VN (ST)) | HK$5,195.00 | |||||
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (86-88)(50% cabernet sauvignon, 48% merlot and 2% cabernet franc) Medium ruby-red. Discreet, classically cool St. Estephe aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violet and mint, with a light leafiness. Then fairly supple and lush for this wine, with moderate density and restrained sweetness. The berry flavors are firmed by harmonious acidity. The tannins offer good grip but turned a bit dusty with aeration. Finishing notes of game and herbs. Pauillac |

Jancis Robinson (17)Tasted blind. Sweet fruit and fine tannins. Luscious and sinewy. Bit of a ballet dancer. Dry finish in a St-Estèphe sort of way. Reverberant finish. Refined and appetising. Bravo! |

Bordeaux | 6 | 94 (JS) | HK$2,330.00 | |||||
James Suckling (94)This has an air of authority with pristine red fruits, cassis and leafy aromas that lead to a palate with a powerful core of fine, long and fresh tannins. Plenty of ageing potential here. Try from 2025. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)The 2017 Phélan Ségur has turned out beautifully. A wine of real substance and personality, Phélan Ségur is endowed with quite a bit of depth. Black plum, chocolate, spice, leather and mocha are some of the many notes that infuse this wonderfully expressive Saint-Estèphe. Readers should expect a bold, savory wine driven by strong Cabernet Sauvignon accents and structure. Accordingly, the 2017 needs time to be at its very best. In 2017, the Grand Vin contains an unusually high amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), much of which was able to hang until early October, with 34% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Winemaker Fabrice Bacquey opted to reduce exposure to oxygen during fermentation with the goal of maintaining as much freshness in the fruit as possible. I continue to be deeply impressed with the work Bacquey, Estate Manager Véronique Dausse and consulting winemaker Michel Rolland have done at Phélan over the last few years. Tasted two times. |

Bordeaux | 5 | 95 (JD) | HK$1,005.00 | |||||
Jeb Dunnuck (95)The flagship 2018 Château Phélan Ségur is a beauty based on 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot. This was a great vintage for the Médoc, and the 2018 reveals a dense purple hue to go with powerful notes of blackcurrants, iron, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and earth. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has beautiful tannins, remarkable purity of fruit, and just does everything right. It has some up-front appeal today (no doubt due to the high Merlot content), yet it builds with time in the glass and shows more and more structure with air. It deserves 5-6 years of bottle age and will keep for 20-25. It's every bit as good as the 2016, if not better. |
