Blason d'Issan Margaux(2004)

The Wine Messenger
93/100
July 2008
The second wine of Château d'Issan. Well-integrated with berry, mineral, and spice notes. Blason d'Issan is made from the same 80 acre vineyard as the estate's 3eme Cru Classe wine, Chateau d'Issan. Over the past 15 years, there has been a noticeable uptick in the quality of Issan's wines as the property has reestablished its position among top dozen in Margaux. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Merlot (30%) is grown on Margaux's gravelly terroir. Blason spends 16 months in oak barrels (35% new) before bottling. A fine full-bodied Bordeaux with superb color and aromas. Red fruit fruits read more...
