CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2015 Segla reveals baked cherries, hoisin and light cedar aromas on the nose, which is tightly wound at first but gains intensity with aeration. The oak is neatly integrated. The very well-balanced, medium-bodied palate features firm tannin, commendable purity, smooth texture and just a touch of white pepper and graphite toward the persistent finish. This is a classy Margaux to add to many others. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

The 2015 Segla has a deep garnet core, lucid in the glass. The nose is quite backward for a deuxieme vin but gradually opens to reveal lovely blackberry and blueberry scents, just a hint of violet (there is no longer that flint-like scent I remarked upon out of barrel). The palate is medium-bodied with a plush and generous entry, very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, a vein of white pepper emerging during the second half that leaves a spicy residue after the wine has departed. On a budget? Looking for a second wine? Look no further (reprise).

Tasted blind. Good fresh top note. Savoury, meat-and-two-vegy. A bit sturdy but honest. Really pretty dry on the end.
