Saturday, November 1, 2014 - From a split. Much too young, but popped to get a feel for how the 2005s are doing. The Issan is a big, dense, broadshouldered and concentrated wine with tons of fruit. Showing primarily sweet fruit with a cassis lead, chocolate and tobacco.

A solid frame in terms of acidity and tannin structure confirms the pedigree of the vintage. There are signs of a complexity that will emerge, but at the moment this is still pretty monolithic in my opinion. Wait.
