Vinous
The 2017 Cissac has a well-defined bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and light rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity, vivid red berry fruit with a fresh and quite minerally finish. This is a very commendable Haut-Médoc from Cissac and it should give 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure.

Vinous
The 2017 Cissac has a well defined bouquet with blackberry, cedar, brown spices and a touch of leather, some new oak (30%) needing a few months to fully integrate. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and good grip. A saline finish urges you back for another sip. This is a commendable Cissac that makes the most of the vintage. Recommended as it is often a great value.
