Tasting Notes
Solid, with warm plum, fig and blackberry reduction notes, inlaid with a lovely alder accent. Flows beautifully through the long, velvety finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

This sets a new level for Giscours with blackberry, black truffle and blackberry. So much walnut and cedar. Full body, dense and incredibly long and powerful. Clearly the best Giscour since 1970 and 1975. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
Dark crimson. Relatively light nose. Very luscious sweet fruit on the palate - a very winning wine with a medium charge of tannin. Just a little inky on the finish. But good and appetising. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2035
Slightly smoky cassis nose then good florality and fine depth of Cabernet fruit and fine tannins. Has the classic Giscours charm with more weight than usual; will show very well. Apr 2016, Steven Spurrier, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2021-2035
