Sweet tannins gently frame the wine throughout the long and dramatic finale

This cheerful Californian Sparkling Rose is made in the Charmat (Prosecco) method from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes

and the 2019 Eggo Blanc de Cal is even fresher and stonier than the 2018 I tasted last time

it's an incredible wine from this terroir that has an almost Latour-like regal quality

Chateau d'Issan, Margaux, France 2020 Grenache - Mourvedre - Syrah Sweet tannins gently frame theGorgeous 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. 97 Pts James Suckling
