Château d'Issan
Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Rim to rim unvaried black. The charred tips of coffee rye. Cooked, black olives, wood mushrooms, dried black mix of sand and loam. Exsiccated black cherry, espresso, and bitter chocolate. Medium mouthfeel filled with variegated tannins evoke a murky shoreline tumble. Chamomile and dark cigar, cinnamon stick, salty, dried violets, river rocks freshly shattered, a dark look of scorn from a resentful moon and burnt parchment. #margaux #margauxmoments #MargauxWestYoungMan #DoNotPassMargaux #leftbank #Bordeaux #bordeauxlovers #ChateauDIssan

Classic. Takes 2 hours to coax aromas out. Tannins are still a bit hard. I expect improvement in the next 2-3 years.
