Estimate
Gorgeous aromas of dried flowers, currants, bark, and forest floor. Lead pencil, too. Tobacco. Full-bodied yet racy and polished with fine and silky tannins that run the length of the wine. Crunchy and fresh at the end... Supple yet structured. It builds at the finish.
...sinewy, powerful and forward-moving wine with a sense of momentum. Moreish, with the elegance and plump damson fruits... Peony and violet notes add a kick upwards on the finish, this has a delicacy even though it is intense.
Beautiful, spiced-laced red and black fruits, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and incense notes define the aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied restrained, elegant 2020 with terrific mid-palate density, ripe, velvety tannins, and terrific overall balance.
...gorgeous, wonderfully complete wine. Blueberry, sage, dried herbs, menthol, lavender and licorice are all beautifully knit together. Medium in body, with notable depth and freshness, Issan is all class. Silky tannins round out the long, vibrant finish.
...wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries and cassis mingled with notions of violets and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with good depth at the core, refined tannins and a penetrating finish...elegant, perfumed Margaux...
Ripe, sweet damson and blackcurrant fruit with a nice hint of lead pencil. Juicy... Smooth tannins...
