XOBC Crowded Table Wine 2020 Château Phélan Ségur oily finishThis second vintage of our Crowded Table Wine shows off the pleasing approachability of our Bordeaux style bespoke blend. Merlot dominant, the nose blossoms with plump blackberry, jammy purple fruits, and delicate violet. The palate is unctuous and brings forth essences of plum, currants, and pencil shavings. A harmony of dark fruit characteristics flow seamlessly into well integrated, fine grained tannins from 30% new French oak barrels. Light notes
