Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured, the 2018 Cissac gives up savoury notions of dried Provence herbs, charcuterie and Sichuan pepper over a core of red and black currant preserves with a touch of graphite. The medium-bodied palate delivers just enough black fruits with earthy/savoury accents and a chewy texture, finishing with appealing freshness and an herbal lift.
The 2010 is a classic Bordeaux with hints of cedar wood, red and black fruits, new saddle leather and an attractive, spicy, earthy, character. The acids seem much sweeter than I remember from some of the vintages from 20 years ago, but the wine is round, generously endowed, well-made and medium-bodied. It should drink nicely for at least a decade.
Dark, ruby-black center with crimson- and violet-staining tears around the glass. The nose is assertive, with black currant, bay leaf, new leather, and cedar spice. Good ripeness on the palate with a firm, muscular structure and detail and definition that go way beyond this price point. Gravel and graphite, black pipe tobacco, and espresso bean all emerge on the long finish.
