Lovely wine. Great nose. Very balanced. Capable of aging much much more.

A lovely example of d'Issan's wine. Soft and subtle with silky tannins and lovely fruit with a lovely nose and nice, long finish.

Mature notes on the nose. But silky and youthful on the palate.

Tight at first but the wine opened up quickly and gloriously! Tar and graphite on the palette to complement forest floor on the nose. This vintage continues to be a winner!

Very nice - 2006 - allow an hour to open and then smooth and bold.

Earth, spring flowers and horse stable. Dark raspberry, chocolate, nimble, and mouth coating. Very pretty.

Very pretty nose of sweet lavender and cassis. No overwhelming oak. A pretty Margeaux.
