Saturday, December 15, 2018 - My last one, alas. This hits it out of the park. The fruit is so opulent and beautiful, this feels surprisingly like a classy Napa cab in many ways, but then there is that slight minerality and earthiness on the finish that says Bordeaux. This is impossible not to love, the best vintage of d’Issan surely, though I’ve high hopes for the recent ‘15 and ‘16.
