Château d'Issan, Blason d'Issan, Margaux, Bordeaux, 2015

Fine seductively floral nose and beautifully expressed fruit. A lovely second wine.

Silky tannins and the same richness of fruit that you get in the 2016, maybe not quite as deep and textured. A very good second wine, and one that you could easily drink now, even more so than with the 2016. Full of pleasure but also feels like a sophisticated wine with real interest. A slightly hotter finish than the 2016, but the clay in the subsoils at Issan keeps freshness even in hot summers.
