Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot Blend

Rim to rim unvaried black. The charred tips of coffee rye. Cooked, black olives, wood mushrooms, dried black mix of sand and loam. Exsiccated black cherry, espresso, and bitter chocolate. Medium mouthfeel filled with variegated tannins evoke a murky shoreline tumble. Chamomile and dark cigar, cinnamon stick, salty, dried violets, river rocks freshly shattered, a dark look of scorn from a resentful moon and burnt parchment. #margaux #margauxmoments #MargauxWestYoungMan #DoNotPassMargaux #leftbank #Bordeaux #bordeauxlovers #ChateauDIssan

Wow, stellar 1986, earthy and ripe. Wonderful length and just starting to peak so good

Beautiful wine showing great development since last tasting.

Strong aroma

Classic. Takes 2 hours to coax aromas out. Tannins are still a bit hard. I expect improvement in the next 2-3 years.

What better way to celebrate 7 yrs than a good 14 yr old wine

Chateau d'Issan Margaux

Delicious deep dark blackberries. Very balanced.

2002

Ok-isch, still young, slightly dry on the finish.
