Château Giscours 2014

Chris Kissack Winedoctor 2018 – "A pretty nose here, this showing some evolution already, with a tobacco-laced and gravelly degradation to the dark cherry fruits. There is a confident style beneath this, dusted with crushed limestone minerality. It is very pretty, and typical of Margaux, but with some substance too, which comes through on the palate as a broad, plump, almost voluptuous weight, supported by a central spindle of grained and tightly knit tannins. Soft and supple, and elegant in the finish, it is long, a touch savoury, but well integrated. Overall, this is good." 92

Neal Martin Vinous 2018 – "The 2014 Giscours has a slightly muddled bouquet with tertiary/woodland scents infusing the broody black fruit, austere but attractive. With aeration it seems to find its groove and develop more clarity and detail. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple and focused. There is lovely balance and poise to this Giscours, with a tensile and precise finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting." 93

Xavier Auerbach 2017 – "Tasting, brief note. Supple, creamy, flowing and relaxed, elegant and floral, gentle phenolics, long." 92
