TWO lots of TWO bottles of the rightly popular Château Cissac.
Levels on all four are at "base of neck". The labels are complete but have some bin marks - see photo. The embossed capsules cover firm corks.
Chateau Cissac is a historic Haut-Médoc wine property which dates from 1769. Located in the northern-most Haut-Médoc appellation, the property and appellation share a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds. The soil, less diverse than in the Médoc, is predominantly sandy, with gravel. The vineyard is planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, and the average age of the vines is 30 years.

Part of 31 vintage vertical of Cissac. Not showing as well as the 1985 on the night. The next day mature colour, more so than 82 or 85 but smooth and fruity no dryness.

Interesting, with tertiary notes just starting to come through. Believe it or not, there was some fruit that began to sneak out after the wine was open and in a decanter for about an hour and a half. The fruit involved includes dusty black cherries carried over a mushroom, forest floor, and pencil lead background. The finish is 15 seconds or so. There are no major flaws I've picked up.
Interesting bottle, and it's unclear what it will do now (not much acid left, but there are still some dusty tannins lingering). Drinking now can provide pleasure, though, so if you have a bottle, go for it!
