Château d’Issan Margaux Blason d’Issan 2014

Great to see a 2nd wine being re-released at what is exactly the right moment to begin drinking it. Nuanced and creamy blackberry and raspberry fruits and lovely fragrant tomato and raspberry leaf and raspberry leaf notes that lifts things out of the glass, but there are high acidities on the finish that speak of the stubborn ripening of the year, with the last grapes coming in on October 15.
