Hints of spice, cedar, and tobacco add to the wine's depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and robust, with silky tannins that give structure and elegance. The flavor profile is rich and well-balanced, with layers of blackberry, black cherry, and dark chocolate. The wine finishes long and satisfying, with a harmonious blend of fruit and oak that lingers on the palate. This vintage truly showcases the exceptional quality of the Margaux terroir and is sure to be a standout addition to any collection.

Robert Parker - 94 Points

"The 2019 D'Issan is showing well from bottle, offering up aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with violets, orange rind and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a seamless, elegant profile, it's a charming, perfumed wine that will offer a broad drinking window. The blend is dominated by an atypically high proportion (70%) of Cabernet Sauvignon. The heart of Issan is its walled "Clos" to the rear of the picturesque moated château, which is complemented by more recently acquired holdings situated on the same gravel terrace."

Antonio Galloni - 94 Points

"The 2019 Château d'Issan has a glorious Margaux bouquet with pressed violets fusing with the black fruit and crushed stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine delineation, taut and fresh, a pinch of black pepper towards the structured and detailed finish that lingers in the mouth. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting."
