Blason d’Issan 2025

Quite bracing acidity starts the frame before turning quite cool and focused with lots of liquorice, wet stone and tobacco plus some blackcurrant leaf and green pepper. I like the texture – smooth and sleek with a soft crushed stone accent on the finish. Ends cool and long, becoming a bit more fleshy with a succulent strawberry core. Nicely focused with precision and detail. 3.48pH. A yield of 29hl/ha. Drinking window: 2029-2037. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
