CHATEAU D’ISSAN 3EME GRAND CRU CLASSE, MARGAUX 2018

Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40%

The 2018 D’Issan is composed of aging in 50% new and 50% second year barrels for an estimated 18 months. With 13.97% alcohol and a deep garnet-purple color, it features baked berries, warm cherries and cassis with spice box and fragrant earth plus tea hints. Medium to full-bodied, it has a great core of muscular fruit with firm, fine-grained tannins, with nice freshness, finishing layered with mineral notions.
