Giscours

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Located in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region, Château Giscours is a Troisième Grand Cru Classé. The component of its terroir, a mild climate and barrel ageing hold the secrets of this fine wine. Cabernet Sauvignon represents 60% of the vineyard and Merlot 32%, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc compose the remaining 8%. The Château Giscours is an elegant, well-structured wine with bright aromas and luscious, silky tannins. To the Château, wine does not stand alone, but is a representation of its environment. Benefitting from Margaux’s excellent terroir, Château Giscours vineyard’s sit above dry, gravelly hilltops. In turn, this well-balanced, rich wine, is one that will develop beautifully for years to come.

Fruit cake, baked plum and bramble fruit. Spicy oak, sweet and fragrant on the palate. Dry, lengthy, satisfying. Traditional but not austere or lean – plenty of generous flavour and supple structure. (RH)

Whereas 2005 has the power, 2010 has power and elegance combined. The nose has a dark fruit, floral and mint complexity, the palate a firmness but finesse of tannin and plenty of fruit, zest and freshness. The energy is apparent, the finish long and clean. Its a wine that should age gracefully over a long period of time. The as good as it gets pick.
