Robert Parker (95)

The 2012 Château d’Issan, builds on the richness of the second wine and adds more body, structure and density. It has an inky purple color and a stunning nose of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as touches of incense and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and stunningly concentrated, this 2012 is a great success in the vintage, one of the superstars. Moreover, its precociousness suggests it could be drunk in the next 4-5 years or cellared through 2025.

James Suckling (92)

This is an excellent red now with sweet tobacco, truffles and berries. Full body, vevlety tannins and a savory finish. This shows the Issan character of decadence and richness.

Falstaff (92)

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening, attractive roasted aromas, fine caramel touch, underlaid with ripe black berry fruit, nuances of licorice and orange zest. Juicy, elegant, fine extract sweetness, round tannins, fresh structure, pleasant chocolate touch on the finish, mineral and persistent.
