Wine Advocate (87)
This well-respected cru bourgeois from proprietor Vialard has a tendency to be relatively tannic, which could be scary in a vintage like 2005, but this wine is dense, powerful and rich. It displays a still youthful dark plum/purple color, medium body, and lots of minerality and fruit. Forget it for another 3-4 years and drink it over the next decade.Inc. VAT£461.34 -
(12x75cl) 2008Delight in the indulgence of a rich, full-bodied Bordeaux with the exquisite Cissac 2008. Skillfully crafted in the vineyards of the renowned Château Cissac within the Haut-Médoc region in France, this formidable claret exemplifies esteemed French winemaking tradition. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and accentuated by Merlot and Petit Verdot, is aged in oak barrels, giving the Cissac 2008 its arresting depth and splendor. Notes of ripe black fruit, truffle and delicate oak resonate with a fine balance of acidity and tannin. The wine bears the signature Cissac maturity and elegance that truly set it apart and proclaim its superior finesse. The House of Cissac has been perpetuating its winemaking legacy since 1769, delivering wines that radiate robust character and sophistication. Invest in the Cissac 2008, a divine representation of exquisite, vintage Bordeaux, fully ready to be savoured now or cellared to reveal its evolving complexity.

(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2019 Cissac has a nose of bright red berries nicely interwoven with hints of graphite and cedar, all very focused. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins and gentle grip on the graphite-tinged finish. This is a very fine Cissac to enjoy over the next decade.Inc. VAT£259.90 -

The 2017 Citran has a powerful nose of black fruit laced with peppermint and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and perhaps more refinement than suggested by the aromatics. As it coheres in the glass, this turns into a very fine Haut-Médoc that is probably punching above its weight. Very fine.Inc. VAT£259.61 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (89+)
The 2018 Citran has retained its well-defined, marine-influenced nose of black fruit infused with seaweed and oyster shells but is less diffuse than it was out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little foursquare, perhaps, but fresh and showing more cohesion and complexity on the finish compared to some of its peers. Good show. And maybe it will improve further.Inc. VAT£248.81 -
(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)
The 2019 Citran has come together nicely in élevage. Succulent red cherry, mint, tobacco, licorice, rose petal, cinnamon and dried herbs all grace this expressive Haut-Médoc. Hints of cedar, menthol and spice linger. The 2019 is a bit rustic, but it offers plenty of character.Inc. VAT£275.21 -

The 2020 Citran is fortunately showing less reduction on the nose than it did from barrel, revealing blackberry and briary scents, touches of graphite and pressed iris flower.

The 2015 Clarke has an attractive blackberry and briary scented nose with just a hint of dark chocolate emanating from the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, the acidity nicely judged with fine tension on the cedar and tobacco-tinged finish. I appreciate the freshness and refinement demonstrated by this Château Clarke, a classic Listrac that should give 10-12 years of pleasure.Inc. VAT£333.47 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (91)
The 2020 Clarke has a classically-styled bouquet with strict blackberry, graphite and mint aromas that might lead you towards Pauillac instead of Listrac. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, well balanced with a fresh line of acidity. The oak is neatly assimilated on the finish that feels smooth and enticing. This is an excellent Château Clarke.Inc. VAT£231.12
