This wine has always been popular in the English marketplace, but less so in the United States. The 2010 is a classic Bordeaux with hints of cedar wood, red and black fruits, new saddle leather and an attractive, spicy, earthy, character. The acids seem much sweeter than I remember from some of the vintages from 20 years ago, but the wine is round, generously endowed, well-made and medium-bodied. It should drink nicely for at least a decade.
Tasted at the Crus Bourgeois 2010 tasting in London. The Cissac has a well-defined, delineated bouquet with blackberry, briary, crushed stone and tobacco notes. It is well balanced with graphite-infused black fruit, a touch of tobacco and impressive precision and length towards the finish. Very fine. Drink now-2018. Tasted September 2012.
Soft, smooth, easy drinking, medium bodied, classically styled, fresh wine with cedar, crisp, fresh cassis, earth and blackberry. With an hour of air, this drinks well young and can age for at least 5 or more years.
