Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' horizontal, the The 2006 Phelan-Segur showed a little more oak on the nose compared to its peers, though it remains detailed with dried blood infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, saline in the mouth with moderate density, a gentle grip towards the graphite-tinged finish. Drink now and over the next 4-5 years. Tasted April 2016.
