Tasting Notes

85
Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Sep 22
The 2002 d’Issan is a vintage that I have not tasted for a long time. To be honest, I find the aromatics a little fusty and lacking cohesion, whilst the palate exhibits some hardness. This Margaux estate produced better wines than this during the noughties. Tasted at the château.

Margaux

Margaux, in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most elegant red wines. Margaux wines are characterised by floral notes of violet and rose, red and black fruits like cherry and blackcurrant, refined tannins, a silky texture, and a complex, long finish. The region's gravelly soil enhances grape concentration. Top producers include Château Margaux, known for its finesse and ageing potential; Château Palmer, recognized for its rich, aromatic wines; and Château Rauzan-Ségla, celebrated for its elegant precision.
