Château Cissac is a dark and tannic cru bourgeois wine needing a longer cellaring than other such wines. This was an exceptional year and is still drinking very well indeed.

Château Cissac is a 50 hectare cru bourgeois estate located just north of the town of Cissac in the Haut-Médoc sub-region of Bordeaux. The 1986 vintage is a traditional, dark and tannic wine in its youth which requires a longer period of cellaring than other cru bourgeois wines before reaching maturity.
The wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The vines are planted at a density of 7,200 per hectare which restricts yields and concentrates flavour in the grapes. After harvesting by hand fermentation takes place in a mixture of temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and very old wooden vats for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Following this the wine is aged for between 18 and 24 months in 30% - 40% new oak. The usual drinking window is between 8 and 15 years but in exceptional years such as this the wines evolve over a much longer period.

Expect a nose of mushroom and forest floor with pencil shavings and some black cherry fruit and tannins still in evidence on the palate. The acidity is now very soft indeed and this wine is still very pleasurable drinking with a good finish. A firmer structured wine than the 1985.
