2006 Chateau d'Issan Margaux (750ml)

"93 out of 100 - Tasted at the Ch?teau d'Issan vertical at the property, the 2006 Ch?teau d'Issan has a clean and precise bouquet, vibrant black fruit with touches of slate coming through with time in the glass. There is a strictness here and you get the sense that the aromatics are holding something back for later. The palate is well balanced, surprisingly supple in the mouth with well-judged acidity, clean and pure with a gorgeous saline note coming through on the long finish. This punches well above my expectations and comes highly recommended - a great Margaux from Emmanuel Cruse and his team. Tasted March 2016." - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
