Tasting notes
‘Final blend since Jan 2011.’ 35% new oak. Very dense and zesty on the nose. Lots of Cabernet influence and massively suave and good, though perhaps a little tiny bit of vegetation and sinew in here. Very polished and gorgeous. Very long. Extremely charming. (JR)

Blason d?Issan From 59 % Cabernet Sauvignon & 41% Merlot, the wine offers soft textures, cassis and black cherry flavors with good freshness. This should offer pleasure and charm when released. 87-88 Pts Jeff Leve winecellarinsider.com
Starts off elegant and balanced, with blueberry and floral character. Full and silky. But turns chewy and mouth puckering. Very extracted. But will turn out really outstanding. Best from here in decades. James Suckling jamessuckling.com
