Chateau D'Issan 1996

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (88)

This property continues to reassert itself, with a renewed commitment to quality. The 1996 d'Issan has turned out beautifully in bottle. It exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as an elegant, floral, blackberry, and smoky-scented nose. The wine is medium-bodied and complex in the mouth, with subtle new oak, gorgeously ripe, sweet black currant fruit, and well-integrated tannin and acidity. This quintessential Margaux-styled wine is elegant and rich.

Winespectator (86)

Tobacco, berry and cedar aromas. Full-bodied, with sour cherry flavors and a cedary, tobacco aftertaste.
