PRE-ARRIVAL 2018 Chateau Cissac Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois 750ml Bottle

90 points - Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2018 Cissac has a generous, fruit driven bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit laced with violet and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a potent marine/seaweed influenced opening, tangy in the mouth with an iodine finish. This conveys a lot of personality. A fine Cissac that should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure. 

92 points - Roger Voss, The Wine Enthusiast
This is an impressive wine. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it is full of black-plum fruits, rich tannins and great potential. The velvet texture brings out an opulent, succulent character that will remain as the wine ages. It needs to age, so drink from 2025. 

Bright crimson still with a pale rim. Light but subtle, appetising nose. Bone dry – no compromises – so food is definitely needed but there is energy here. Jancis Robinson
