Tasting note
Margaux Bordeaux Blend should suggest blackcurrant, plum and violets, with cedar and a subtle herbal edge in the aroma. The 2023 Château d'Issan is expected to feel finely built, its dark fruit carried by firm tannins and bright acidity that lends the palate a precise line. Opening begins in 2029, and the best balance is projected from 2034 to 2048, with a horizon of 2055; the finish should be long and quietly savory.
