This is one of the most structured Séglas for a long time with full body, a sold core of fruit and firm, chewy tannins that are polished and focused. Tight at the end. Hazelnut finish. Drink in 2024.
90 Vinous
The 2016 Ségla has a well-defined bouquet whose discreet rose petal and iris aromas lift the black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and quite lively and spicy, leading into a slightly metallic finish, which I suspect will ebb with time. There is good length here. An elegant and quite persistent Margaux. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.

89 Wine Spectator
Focused, with a racy-edged beam of damson plum and rose petal notes that meld with incense and black tea details as they move through the finish, which has a velvety hint to offset the raciness. Best from 2021 through 2029. 8,333 cases made. — JM
