Chateau d’Issan Margaux Library Vertical 6-Pack (2010-2015 Vtgs.)

Nicholas Exclusive: Bordeaux Library Vertical 6-Packs

How cool is this? A Library Vertical 6-Pack featuring some of the greatest vintages in this winery’s illustrious history. Each Vertical Library pack includes one bottle each from the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintage.

2010: ‘The Best of the Best’
This is the massive, high-scoring anchor. It’s just now entering its prime and sets the “power” benchmark for the group.
2011: ‘The Classicist’
A cool, savory year. It provides the “floral lift” that distinguishes d’Issan from its heavier neighbors in the Médoc.
2012: ‘The Overachiever’
Often called the “superstar” of 2012, this wine is surprisingly rich and generous, bridging the gap between the lean 2011 and the dense 2010.
2013: ‘The Unicorn’
The rarest bottle in the set. Yields were incredibly tiny, but the juice was special. Most collectors missed this, but it’s a masterclass in “elegance in adversity.”
2014: ‘The Sleeper’
A return to structure and power. It’s the “intellectual” wine of the group, built for long-term cellaring.
2015: ‘The Masterpiece’
Widely considered the “Margaux Vintage of the Century.” It’s the perfect, high-note finale to this six-year journey.
