Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegant and savoury, with soft, refined tannins and bright acidity bringing freshness and lift. Nicely evolved yet still structured, it finishes silky and persistent with a touch of earthy complexity, showcasing the charm and finesse of a well-aged Margaux.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eD 91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Dec 12, 2019\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2020-2038\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Cabernet Sauvignon levels come through in the focus on black fruit, with cassis, bilberry and blackberry bud that are edged with spice and clear menthol. It still feels pretty tight in its tannic structure. The aromatics are also very high, and have kept their impact. It has bright acidity and a juicy finish with a lot more life and interest than a great many Bordeaux 2002s. It's not exactly generous but with zip and power that puts it above many (perhaps because Margaux was one of the areas that managed to avoid the worst of the rain).

The wine is made from the old vines in the Château d’Issan enclosure in the middle of the Margaux appellation. The soil here is mainly made up of surface gravel on top of a clay subsoil, which contributes to optimal ripeness and freshness in our two grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Château d’Issan expresses the exquisite bouquet so characteristic of Margaux, and stands out with its suppleness, subtlety, elegance and long keeping potential that come from its unique terroir. Château d’Issan is aged in barrels for 16 to 18 months, half of which are new. Annual production is around 100,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40958490148928,"sku":"RDFR20020408","price":219.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/chateau-d-issan-margaux-750ml.jpg?v=1760008715","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/chateau-dissan-margaux-2002-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
