  February 20, 2023 - Deep perfumed and v pure nose showing cassis and violets. Medium bodied, silky tannins with well defined succulent red fruits. Midpalate is expansive and very open. Borderline tertiary. A joy to drink now.

  July 29, 2022 - The wine of Eleanor d'Aquitaine! How cool is that?! A bit old-fashioned, a bit uptight (understandable.. ). I found it a bit green, but it does credit to its heritage. Well-liked by the whole group, overriding the unfair assessment of some critics.

  2007 Ch. D’Issan – initially violets on the nose with a delicate perfume, tannins evident but soft. At first it seemed that it had vigour left but that soon faded leaving a slightly green essence. Probably towards the end of its shelf life.

Within drinking window. Quite elegant with a very seductive nose, well balanced for the vintage and not too green, downside really is on the length.
