The wine was like walking into a coffee shop. The espresso note was dominant, with some black currant and and violet notes made it smell like really damn good espresso. This was part of a tasting where all the wines part of the 1855 classification were available to taste, including first growths. I don't have the vocabulary to talk about the first growths, but they were all incredible.

Thank you for your notes! A question to those who might know: what do they mean by their 70th vintage if they were around back in 19th century?
D’Issan is fantastic.. I have really been enjoying their Haut Medoc offering, the QPR is off the charts!!
The Mouilin d’Issan is great as well
Sadly I only have one bottle and am contemplating drinking it soon so glad you enjoyed it Mine is from 1995 and one of my older bottles.
You are going down a dangerous path. Congrats.

I’ve got a few of these, but still felt like I shouldn’t break into them for another 3-5 years. You think they’re ready to go now?
