CRITIC REVIEWS
Tom Parker MW
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. Deep ruby. Toasty nose but there is rich plummy fruit that is fresh and vibrant woven into the notes of cedar and clove. This shines through with more authority on the palate, red cherry and plum with moreish, lively acidity and crunchy tannins. Lifted through to the finish. (TP)

Lots of ripe black cherry and cassis fruits as well as graphite, lead pencil, and scorched earth notes emerge from the 2018 Château Giscours, a medium-bodied Margaux that has a fresh, focused texture, plenty of underlying structure, and the purity of fruit thats the hallmark of the vintage. This beautiful Margaux builds nicely with time in the glass, and while it plays in the more elegant side of the spectrum, it has terrific mid-palate depth, stunning balance, and outstanding length. I think the 2019 might ultimately surpass it, but its certainly in the same ballpark as the 2016. Give bottles 3-5 years and enjoy over the following 20 years or more.
