Château d’Issan Margaux 1855 3ème Cru Classé 2015

Love a good bottle of Issan, just such a consistently enjoyable Margaux, and this is at a great moment to drink, beginning to fully soften and widen through the mid palate. Smoked caramel, roses, crushed raspberry, tobacco, liquorice, mandarin peel, with a fresh mint leaf lift on the finish. The 70th anniversary of the Cruse family at Issan, tasted separately to the rest of the horizontal.
