Chateau D Issan 2009

Description

Wines are showing remarkable body, volume and tannic power. The 2009 vintage offers great class and remarkable purity.Wine Advocate – April 2010 Following the lustrous 2000 and 2005, the 2009 is another terrific effort from proprietor Emmanuel Cruse. Tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectares, 13.7% natural alcohol, and a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% of Merlot have resulted in a wine boasting stunning minerality along with notes of flowers, blueberries, and black currants. Full-bodied with silky tannin, a tremendous opulence, and levels of density and richness never before seen at this estate, this brilliant dIssan should age for three decades or more.93-95 ptsLe Point – May 2010Fruits noirs, bouche fraiche, vive, elegante, tendue, tannins moelleux en milieu de bouche, finale assez tannique, un peu de cassis en finale.16/20 – Chateau D’issan*93-95/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate *89-91/100 Wine Enthusiast
