Château d’Issan Margaux 3e Cru Grand Cru Classé 2020

Gorgeous aromas of dried flowers, currants, bark, and forest floor. Lead pencil, too. Tobacco. Full-bodied yet racy and polished with fine and silky tannins that run the length of the wine. Crunchy and fresh at the end. Give this five or six years to come together. Supple yet structured. It builds at the finish. Try after 2028. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, March 30, 2023)
