Note di degustazione
Savoury, earthy, mineral tones, florality too, clove spice gives lift. Rich, ripe plummy glycerol-rich fruit but there is Cabernet freshness too. The tannins are intricate, long and provide lovely direction in the wine. Dense whilst not being heavy. Warming finish but balanced and tannins fully resolved and sandy. Excellent

The 2019 Château d'Issan has a glorious Margaux bouquet with pressed violets fusing with the black fruit and crushed stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine delineation, taut and fresh, a pinch of black pepper towards the structured and detailed finish that lingers in the mouth. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Tasted blind. Slightly grey rim. Smudgy nose. Fairly light and sweet. Low tannins. Second wine? Light-bodied. (JR)
Pure cassis, graphite, violets, damp earth, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2019 Château D'Issan, a richer, medium to full-bodied, powerful Margaux. It develops a gorgeous sense of minerality with time in the glass, has plenty of mid-palate oomph, integrated oak, and just terrific overall balance. It's a stunning success in the vintage in Margaux, which was one of the more challenging in the vintage. This will round into form with just 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for two decades or more. Bravo.
