MOULIN D'ISSAN 2020, Bordeaux

Opened it last night and the 70% Cabernet Sauvignon blend gives it such a nice structure. The wood aging is present but not overpowering, really smooth for a young Bordeaux.

The 16 to 18 months in wood really shows—the tannins are smooth but still give it that classic Margaux structure. Opened it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and the Cabernet backbone stood up perfectly. Already ordered another bottle for next spring.

The 30% new oak aging gives this a really elegant structure that's still approachable now. I let it breathe for about an hour and the dark fruit notes opened up beautifully.
