Blason D’Issan Margaux Johnston 2024

The 2024 Blason d’Issan is a real charmer. There’s more Cabernet Sauvignon in this year’s blend because of issues with the Merlot. That is evident in the wine’s aromatics and also in a flavor profile laced with purplish berry fruit, sage, rose petal, menthol and licorice. The 2024 finishes with a good backbone of acidity and tannin. Drinking window: 2026-2034. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
