Very good price to quality ratio for a Bordeaux. Reserved fruit, some earth, opened up nicely. — 5 years ago

Beautiful wine! 2009 Margaux from Château D'Issan ...even more enjoyable knowing that we have actually visited and toured the 15th century Château....one of the few actually surrounded by a moat!

Will post tasting notes soon, but this bottle opened up beautifully. 😀🍷🇫🇷 — 6 years ago

If the d'Issan was a treat this was...Utterly delicious, and from a larger format would've been sublime I have no doubt — 9 years ago

I know that 2012 wasn’t a perfect year but this still underperformed. Have a lot of nostalgia for D’Issan after Emmanuel Cruse (the proprietor) oversaw the Bordeaux tasting competition where my wife and I met. Very little fruit on the mid palate. Bit thin on the finish. Definitely left bank - the nose is very nice. Good pairing with beef tenderloin slow roasted but still a smidge below what I hoped. — 4 months ago

Not the best vintage for the left bank, but this wine was very well balanced with refined tannins....lovely earthly and rich dark plum and black fruit notes. A very enjoyable Haut-Medoc wine from Château D'Issan. — 6 years ago

Much brighter than the 2009 chateau d'issan that we had. Good amount of fruit but not a fruit bomb. Good, tasty. More complexities than the Dissan. That one is much more dark. — 6 years ago

This 90% Merlot is grown directly adjacent to the Margaux property of the chateau but is entitled only to Bordeaux Superieur appellation. It’s really good and eminently drinkable. Loads of ripe, deep plummet fruit competes with cedar and rich, minerally earthy notes. In the mouth, it’s rich but not as ponderous as many ‘18s. For a weeknight-priced Bordeaux, wow! — 4 months ago

Very earthy with a taste of berries definitely let this one breathe and you won’t be disappointed! — 5 years ago

Another fantastic special from The Wine Society. Went very well with sirloin steak cooked on the BBQ. — 7 years ago
