CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical and a few months later again at the property, the 2012 Château Giscours is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc picked between September 27 and October 17. It has a rather conservative nose with raspberry, fresh strawberry, tobacco and light licorice scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple black fruit, but with slightly aggressive acidity. Like the 2013, though to a lesser extent, it needs to show a little more concentration and finesse on the finish; but otherwise, enjoy this over the next decade or so. Tasted March 2016.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Giscours delivers expressive scents of baked plums, Morello cherries, and redcurrant jelly with hints of dried lavender, fried herbs, and tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and refreshing, with lively red fruits and a soft-textured, perfumed finish.
