2016 Château d'Issan, Cru Classé Margaux

2016 Château d'Issan, Cru Classé Margaux

This is a very powerful style of Issan with bold dark cherry fruit and violets that come straight out of the gates. Notes of truffle and liquorice add complexity while the wine really fills the palate with ripe hedgerow fruit. Firm, robust and detailed this is a wine that requires a little more time.

Tasting notes

Mid crimson. Vigorous nose. Round texture and really rather admirably relaxed. Certainly not sweet. Quite long.

This is so energetic for a young d’Issan with lots of white pepper, crushed stones and blackberries. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and great length. One of the greatest ever. Superb depth and intensity to this real Bordeaux. Wow.
