James Suckling
Complex aromas of sweet tobacco, chocolate, cedar and plums. Undertones of blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Dense and tight with a beautifully and tightly knit palate, yet this shows so much intensity and length. Love the wet-earth and berry character on the finish. Give this three to four years to soften even if it’s fantastic already to taste.
Wine Enthusiast
This is a serious wine, with dense tannins and concentrated structure. It has strong wood and smoky bacon notes that need to harmonize with the dark plum flavor and ample acidity.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2014 D'Issan has a crisp, pure bouquet, quite tight and reticent like the 2014 Marquis d'Alesme Becker, eventually offering blackberry, soy and cedar scents, almost Saint Julien in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of herbaceousness on the entry, but there is plenty of fruit behind it. I like the classic style of this d'Issan, the pepperiness of the Cabernet driving the structured and quite masculine (for Margaux) finish. This is beginning to show the class that I thought it would and it may merit a higher score in the future.
Druvor
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot
Tasting note
'The nose is elegant, fine, powerful, racy, full of control/finesse and offers intensity as well as a fine captivating side. It reveals notes of bright wild cassis, cornflower/lilyand small notes of Boysen berry associated with touches of pulpy wild strawberry, liquorice/Badiane, nutmeg, camphor as well as discreet hints of fresh hazelnut, varietal (brings peps), a subtle hint of crushed almond and pepper. The palate is fruity, fresh, elegant, gourmand and offers a beautiful definition, purity, a beautiful fruit, suavity, intensity, precision as well as a small tension, silkiness, a fine straightness, a finely unctuous/fresh matter, density and a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cherry, pulpy raspberry and small notes of blackberry associated with touches of bright cassis as well as hints of lily, cornflower, a subtle hint of zan, black tea, chocolate, a discreet hint of sweet spices and caramelization. Tannins are elegant, supple and precise. Good length and a beautiful persistence. An imperceptible hint of roasted on the persistence/aftertaste.'

En bra vår följdes av en grå fuktig sommar, men torrt väder och en lång skördeperiod genom september och oktober räddade årgången. Bäst i övre Médoc med Cabernet Sauvignon och Franc, tillsammans med Petit Verdot, njuter av den sena skörden; mindre dynamisk i Margaux och Pèssac-Léognan.

En bra vår följdes av en grå, fuktig sommar, med något mer nederbörd än på Vänsterbanken. Merlot solid, men viner med Cabernet Franc har en fin 'sweet spot' och väldränerade grusjordar gynnades framför de som domineras av lera.
