Château Phelan Segur St Estèphe Frank Phelan 2022

Some heat on the opening moments, softening to show a velvety texture and vivid blue and red fruits, creamy patisserie notes with fennel and black chocolate on the finish. Great quality. Hail on June 20 meant losing around 30% of the crop, leaving a yield of 28hl/h, and as a result this blend is unusually high in Merlot. Lower alcohols here than 2018, 2019 and 2010 after some blockages. Not sold En Primeur.
