critic reviews
A good vintage at this estate, with vibrant red cherry and damson fruit, a good dollop of black pepper spice and fresh floral aromatics. It's a little austere but it's juicy and has sinewy tannins that suggest ageing ability. A success, with personality and a pretty feel. Owner Marie Vialard.
The 2023 Cissac is missing the fruit concentration that I discerned on the 2022 last year, showing moderate delineation but missing some complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a little dry and austere, with a rustic, old-school finish. Drink it over the next decade.
Compared to its predecessor, the 2023 Cissac presents a more dense and austere profile, with aromas of cassis, spices, gentian and licorice. Medium-bodied, chewy and rich, its firm and concentrated with structured tannins and a long, mineral but dry finish. This is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
