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.
