Blason d'Issan, Margaux, France 2018

The nose is fresh, structured, racy and offers a fine intensity as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of ripe wild cassis, cornflowerand small notes of pulpy strawberry associated with small touches of small blue fruits as well as hints of spices, a subtle hint of Sichuan pepper, a discreet hint of violet and liquorice. The palate is fresh, fruity and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful fresh/juicy fruit, a certain straightness/tension, and suavity as well as a well-built fruit, fat, and a chiseled side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cherry, strawberry, and small notes of cassis associated with touches of cornflower, plum as well as fine hints of tonka bean, toasted, varietal, a discreet hint of cardamom and an imperceptible hint of pepper. Tannins are finely soft. Good length. A powdered sensation in the finish/persistence.
