Château d'Issan 2015
Blend
The 2015 vintage is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. This minority grape variety adds spicy notes and complexity.
Tasting
Colour: A beautiful deep garnet-red colour, dense and brilliant, heralding great concentration.
Nose: Very expressive, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and violet, accompanied by notes of cedar, light tobacco, graphite, truffle, sweet spices and dark chocolate.
Palate: The attack is supple and full-bodied. The palate reveals a fine balance between density and freshness. The tannins are fine, enveloping and well integrated. There are flavours of ripe black fruit, liquorice and graphite, with a fine mineral tension. The finish is long, elegant and slightly saline.

Medium-bodied with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, it has bold fruit matched by freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
Fruity, firm, with good length and a round palate; perfect with duck.
The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a crisp line of acidity, subtle notes of cedar with a composed, structured finish with plenty of freshness and vigor.
Deep purple-black in color, scents of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and Black Forest cake, medium to full-bodied palate with opulent black fruit. robertparker.com (31.3.2021)
Palate medium-bodied with fine tannin and good body. Sappy black fruit, a touch of spice towards the finish, and you have yourself a very fine Côtes de Castillon.
Elegant and complex, this wine stands out for its aromatic harmony and finesse. Persistent finish.
Elegant, red and black berries, caramel; with entrecôte.
