The 2009 Ségla under cork has a very enticing blackberry, raspberry, cedar and orange rind scented bouquet that opens nicely in the glass, gathering momentum with every swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity. Quite dense and structured with a judicious dash of spice towards the classy and persistent finish. This is very impressive and incidentally shows much better than another bottle sealed under Screwcap. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Screwcapped. Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Mild nose. Lightweight, almost timid. Nothing desperately wrong with this but it’s in a low register. (JR)
Screwcap. Almost 50% Merlot. Polished crimson. Very nice and Margaux-ish. Not over the top. VGV (JR)
