CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Segla is drinking beautifully. Black cherries, cassis and violets on the nose immediately nail this as a Margaux, quite plush and seductive. The palate has wonderful balance and saturated tannins. It s silky smooth with a sweet but poised finish that slips down the throat with ease. This is exactly what second labels should be for.

The 2016 Segla had been blended for a month when I tasted it with the exception of 14 experimental barrels. It comprises of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 53% Merlot with 1% each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, matured in 20% new oak. It has a very polished and quite opulent bouquet with kirsch, blackberry, a touch of glycerine and just a hint of menthol. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin, silky smith in texture with a dash of spice on the back palate, and a compact but long finish.

53% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.Very dark crimson. A little note of balsam and this seems more youthful than the 2019 Segla but just as well composed. Good, sophisticated winemaking at non-grand-vin prices just a little angular. (JR)
