“A refined and beautifully balanced Château d’Issan that highlights the elegance of Margaux. Aromas of blackcurrants, red cherries, violets and crushed stones are complemented by delicate notes of cedar, tobacco and sweet spices. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is polished and vibrant, with layers of fresh dark fruit supported by silky tannins and lively acidity. Precise and harmonious throughout, it finishes with impressive length and a lingering mineral freshness. A graceful and age-worthy wine that perfectly reflects the estate’s classic style.”

“This vintage shows lovely minerality and excellent red currants, red cherries and stones. Such vibrancy, youthfulness and energy. Not a wine of immense depth, but I like the chalky tannins that provide vibration and length. Mostly cabernet sauvignon with merlot, malbec and petit verdot.”

“Continuing a run of exceptional vintages where everything seems to be going right at this property. High Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, and it comes across in the sleek black fruits and peony character, very much floral and finessed. Good stuff, this is impressive, enjoyable, very St Julien and very good. 50% new oak for ageing, Eric Boissenot consultant, Mathieu Bordes director since 2013."

The 1983 Château Lagrange, a Saint-Julien Third Growth (3ème Cru Classé), is described as a classic, savory Bordeaux with firm tannins, earthy notes, and mature black fruit (plum, cassis), showing complexity with hints of leather and pencil shavings, holding up well with age but benefiting from decanting to reveal its depth, reflecting the era when Suntory began its major revitalization of the estate.

A 3-bottle collection set from Château Giscours typically highlights the estate's 3rd Growth classification status, offering a vertical or curated selection of their Margaux appellation wines, featuring a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
