A light to medium-bodied, pretty, but slightly austere wine, this dark ruby-hued 2007 reveals spicy berry fruit and tobacco leaf notes, and a soft, round style. Consume it over the next 7-10 years. Yields were a tiny 23.5 hectoliters per hectare. Drink 2010-2020.
Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 D'Issan has a reserved bouquet, nicely defined and focused with good tension, a mixture of red and black fruit mixed with cedar and cigar box scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. It is nicely balanced even though it is missing some depth on the finish. Looking back, it is quite Saint Julien in style, and it should drink nicely over the next 5-7 years. Tasted March 2015.
Drink Date 2015 - 2021
Black-red, good crunchy fruit, elegant and expressive, shows charm, purity and good length, and fine example of Margaux. Drink 2012-18. 4 stars.
