2005 Château Phélan Ségur

This wine is holding steady. Brambly dark fruit and some plummy sweetness. Med+ tannin still but in good balance with the solid acidity and concentration of flavors. Good length with some tertiary notes of leather and cigar box starting to show up. I think this will continue to age nicely. Longish (4+ hours minimum) now, longer if able. Or better yet, wait 5 years.

Red plum and black currant, slight hints of tobacco leaf and cedar. Medium concentration. A bit astringent with slightly chewy tannins and acidic upon opening. I am hoping this will gain weight and the fruit will fill-in the mid-plate with air. Update - never really got better, just slowly faded. Drink soon.

2016 Château La Pointe

Red and black plum, hint of tar and rose petal on the nose, maybe hinting at truffle in the future. Subdued plum and berry fruit, lighter concentration. A finessed style, needs a bit of time to show better. Well balanced and nice, I like this style, if not the greatest concentration or complexity.
