title: Château Phélan-Ségur 2006  Saint-Estèphe
description: In recent years, the Gardiniers of Phélan-Ségur seem to have become preoccupied with wood, generally too much. It's the same in 2006, and it is a shame, because everything else about this wine is balanced—the fruit is ripe and sweet and there is some freshness from a cranberry note. It just needs the wood to become less dominant.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
