St Estephe - Frank Phelan 2022

92 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter. "Beautiful colour in the glass, so vivid and vibrant. Sleek and streamlined, a lovely cool vein of freshness and soft flinty touches with grippy tannins that give texture to the frame. On the reserved side, it's poised and calm, not shouting but delicately delivering layers of flavour, concentrated black fruits, minerality and ever so soft spicing. Nice definition, weight and intensity, this is well crafted with licks of liquorice, clove and dark chocolate. A lovely ease to this despite being clearly powerful and full of refined intensity."
