2021 iso - 95 pts from Vinous

The 2021 Iso is intense, smol­der­ing up with a mass of dark red and black cur­rant, stone dust, men­tho­lat­ed herbs, blood orange and hints of tobac­co. This is sur­pris­ing­ly ener­getic and grace­ful in feel, splash­ing across the palate with silky tex­tures and cool­ing acid­i­ty as a sat­u­ra­tion of wild berry fruits adds grip­ping ten­sion. A wall of struc­ture takes hold through the fin­ish, leav­ing hints of vio­let pastille and sweet herbs to linger on. The Iso is a blend of 70% Caber­net Sauvi­gnon, 15% Syrah and 15% Petite Sir­ah. 95 pts
