Chateau D´Issan 2016 Margaux
weiteres von

The 2016 D'Issan is blended of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot. aged in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak for 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. it has vibrant black cherries and blackcurrants notes with chocolate mint. beef drippings. black olives and cigar box. Medium-bodied with a well-sustained. intensely flavored mid-palate. it has a rock-solid. grainy frame and long savory finish. 10.500 cases produced.

The 2016 d’Issan. matured in 50% new oak and bottled at the end of May. was impressive out of barrel. and thankfully. it is the same in bottle. The very well defined bouquet features blackberry. tobacco. pressed violets and a subtle estuarine tang. almost a marshland scent of salty air. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. good focused and just the right amount of salinity. My feeling is that this Margaux will close up for a while. so cellar it for several years if you can. 13.34% alcohol.

The brightness and precision already comes through on the nose with floral. blackcurrant character. Full-bodied and very tight and creamy with polished tannins that last for minutes. Warm and intense. Needs four to five years to show all it has. yet already a beauty.

The 2016 D'Issan is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot cropped between 29 September and 19 October. and matured in 50% new barrels. The alcohol is 13.3% and with a pH of 3.71. It has a very classic. slightly introverted bouquet with a light marine influence coming through. but remaining very reserved. a little aloof. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin and fine delineation; it is very crisp and focused. a classic Margaux through and through with outstanding salinity and persistence towards the precise finish. This is a beautiful D'Issan for long-term ageing. on par with the 2015.

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.
