Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

9.3

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Nose at the beginning was the usual D'Issan tight as nails. Maan, this wine always needs to be left alone to come out of the shell. Some milk chocolate and cocoa powder alongside the dense, dark fruits and earth that was appointed to the front lines at the onset. Showing pretty nicely currently with that mandatory airtime. 04.25.25. — 2 days ago

I have a 2010 Issan I was looking to open soon but after reading your note I will keep it in the cellar for a few more years.

2020 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Blessed with richness up front and grip on the back end without obvious flaws or gaping palate holes. A bit of something for everyone and at decent pricing. In consideration for future...considerations. 01.22.25. — 3 months ago

A vanilla bomb! Vanilla, cedar, and black fruit dominant. The tannins are silky smooth. Can drink now or age a bit more. — 7 months ago

The 2020 “del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba” is a traditional blend of three MGAs from Serralunga: mostly younger vines from Baudana, Cerretta and now, some fruit from Costabella. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 pours a beautiful garnet with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with tart and ripe notes of Morello cherry, pomegranate, talcum powder, red roses, dry earth and old wood. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. I took the opportunity to enjoy this alongside the “Baudana” and this didn’t have the same elegance but it’s a very complete and balanced Barolo. Drink now through 2040. — 5 months ago
