Really lovely wine. Typical of the vintage. Rich, silky and integrated.

Posting too late to give a good note but it was gorgeous.

I have had other bottles of this vintage of Chateau D'Issan that were superior. This particular bottle was weak and thin on the palate and nose This bottle showed nothing of the greatness of the 2005 vintage. It showed nothing of the depth of flavors I would expect. Hopefully an aberration.

Decant for 1/2 an hour and drink over the next hour. Otherwise, it simply fades away into rose infused perfumed water. I've no idea what's going on. (Perhaps don't even decant!)

Dark heavy Margaux power. Touch wood. Couple hours in touch floral and blueberry. Silky tannins.

Evan Bienstock

Not my favorite last night. Tightly coiled and acidic. Tannins still very present. Needs more time in the cellar or the decanter.
