Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Fresh dark fruit laced with under the horses hoof earth and straw... Lovely wine.

The 2008 Issan I showing all of its refined, Bordeaux splendor. It’s dark, plummy and cherry notes, with wet slate and some leather have reached their full maturity and I can’t see them getting a better. I’d say the 2008 has another 5-6 years at this level before it will start to fade a bit.
