Chateau D'Issan 2013, Margaux (1x75cl)

d'Issan is one of Margaux's more perfumed estates, and reds from here are usually elegant rather than powerful. 2013 was a cooler year in Bordeaux, which typically gives a lighter-framed, earlier-drinking style than warmer vintages.

A gentler style of Margaux for a dinner that calls for something refined rather than heavy.

Tasting notes

Margaux reds from a cooler year typically show red berry and violet notes, with softer tannins and a lighter, elegant finish.
