TASTING NOTES:

Wine Rating: RP 91+ points
Drink by: 2020 - 2040

The 2014 D'Issan has a crisp, pure bouquet, quite tight and reticent like the 2014 Marquis d'Alesme Becker, eventually offering blackberry, soy and cedar scents, almost Saint Julien in style.
The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of herbaceousness on the entry, but there is plenty of fruit behind it. I like the classic style of this d'Issan, the pepperiness of the Cabernet driving the structured and quite masculine (for Margaux) finish.
This is beginning to show the class that I thought it would and it may merit a higher score in the future.

"The history of Château d’Issan consists primarily of a long list of property transmissions and legacies. By inheritance and marriage, the estate has been handed down from owner to owner, and all of them have contributed in their own way to its renown and helped to forge its unique character.

In the 12th century, the property was a fiefdom with the name at that time of La Mothe-Cantenac, before becoming Theobon Manor, when a female heir married a lord with the same name. Over a period of nearly three centuries, the estate was passed down along a line involving a number of families with names such as Noailhan, Meyrac, Segur, Salignac, de la Vergne, Escodeca de Boisse, etc.

From 1575 onwards, the property was owned by five generations of the Essenault family, who ended up renaming it, contracting their name to “Issan” and thus Château d’Issan was born."
