Chateau Phelan Segur 'Frank Phelan', Saint-Estephe, France 2015 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste assertive fruitFrank Phlan comes from a 15ha plot of old vines as well as the young vines of Phlan. This is a very elegant wine with the right extraction. It unfurls aroma of mocha, spices and dark fruit. On the palate, it is balanced, with very fine acidity, dark fruit again such as blackcurrant and a fine roundness brought to the whole thanks to the Merlot.
