Sunday, August 27, 2017 - Must be one of the best '12 Bordeaux. This is delicious right out of the bottle; lovely milk chocolate profile, there is a slight earthiness and acidity, this is just so well composed. This is missing a bit of weight and power but otherwise nothing is awry. It has the typical d'Issan house feel - doesn't have the power or intensity that the '05 or '10 has - overall might be closer to the '06 though lighter still, but with more weightlessness. This is the kind of Bordeaux that embarasses anything from Napa at <$55 and is a perfect wine to convert Bordeaux-sceptics. While many Bordeaux have some austere aspect, which can be part of the charm, this one is just pure deliciousness.
