Description

The 2015 Chateau d’Issan shows a medium crimson color with purple tints and is fresh, fruity and floral on the nose. It offers black currant and black plums aromas with pleasant hints of licorice. The tannins are round and soft. This wine is very structured and elegant and delivers a long as well as fresh finish.

Full-bodied, very fine and silky with a very, very long finish. Shows tension and finesse. Structured yet shows an ultra-fine texture. Deep, dense center palate, yet it’s all so polished. A wine for the future. Drink in 2022.
