D`Issan 2012

HED98482 75cl 13%
D`Issan 2012 presents a complex bouquet of dark fruits, with blackcurrant and plum leading the charge. There are hints of cedar and tobacco, indicative of the wine`s maturation in oak barrels. On the palate, it reveals a medium body, with smooth tannins contributing to a balanced structure. The acidity is notable, providing freshness and supporting the fruit profile as it unfurls through the mid-palate.

Located in the Margaux appellation, Château d`Issan has a history dating back to the 12th century. This vintage comprises a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showcasing the terroir`s capabilities. The 2012 season was characterized by a warm growing period, creating optimal ripening conditions for the grapes. The wine is known for its aging potential, allowing it to develop further complexity over time.

The 2012 d`Issan is dark and beautifully layered in the glass. Plum, crème de cassis, leather, herbs and cloves open up in in a silky, polished wine that impresses with its balance and overall poise. The d`Issan is a bit dark for Margaux, but that is a detail; the 2012 is a gorgeous wine in every way. The blend is 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. This is terrific showing from d`Issan and winemaker Eric Boissenot. - Antonio Galloni
