The Fives at Château d’Issan

BY NEAL MARTIN |

Following the vertical that I conducted at the estate back in 2018, I recently joined Emmanuel Cruse via Zoom for a small tasting of recent vintages of “The Fives”, including the 2000 d’Issan that was not included in my The Marital Margaux: d’Issan 1945-2015 article. These were delivered as small glass bottles, so it was interesting to compare with tasting notes from regular bottles. In this respect, I was pleased to see a strong correlation between the two. Readers will find all the background information in my original report, so I will crack on with the wines.
