Chateau d'Issan Margaux Grand Cru Classé

France/Bordeaux 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot Medium Bodied Red 98 points, #1 wine of 2025 - James Suckling This is really luxurious, showing blackcurrants and orange peel with cedar and dried-mushroom aromas following through to a medium to full body that grows on the palate. This has crunchy and lightly chewy tannins that are slightly austere but in an elegant, classical Bordeaux way. Chewy at the end. So much energy and vibe. So complex.
