The 2002 d’Issan is a vintage that I have not tasted for a long time. To be honest, I find the aromatics a little fusty and lacking cohesion, whilst the palate exhibits some hardness. This Margaux estate produced better wines than this during the noughties. Tasted at the château.

Thick and sweet on the nose. Then lightish with some acidity on the palate – more than most. Polished. Well fashioned even if not thrilling. (JR)

Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2006-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2006
3ème Cru Classé Full, complete nose – nice balance. But pretty raw on the palate. Again, no flesh in the middle. Fades very fast. (JR)
