Wine Review Online
2008 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2015
The wines from the 2008 vintage in Bordeaux are overlooked because they were firm upon release and were followed by the opulent and immediately appealing 2009s and then the refined and stylish 2010s. But, as is always the case, talented producers, such as Château Phélan-Ségur, make excellent wines even in less revered years. And this is one very good, easy-to-recommend 2008. With refined dusty tannins and a gorgeous texture, it still conveys the earthy character of St. Estèphe. It would be perfect with a grilled steak tonight, but given its balance and structure, there’s plenty of room for development, so there’s no rush. And given the prices of the classified Bordeaux and even the top Napa Valley Cabernets, this 2008 is a bargain. (Michael Apstein)
