Château Giscours 2017

Antonio Galloni Vinous 2020 – "The 2017 Giscours is the result of an especially stringent selection, the most dramatic at the property going back to 1995. Medium in body, with terrific freshness and energy, the 2017 shows very well today. Dark red cherry, red plum, spice, licorice, tobacco and savory herbs all grace the glassy, understated Giscours. I can't wait to see how the 2017 ages given its vibrancy and terrific sense of harmony." 93

Jane Anson Decanter 2019 – "Soft and a touch earth on the attack but pulls itself together to show firmly in-control tannins. There is a natural austerity offset by a clear punch of redcurrant, raspberry and autumnal fruits. Good freshness, softened by smoked cedar on the finish. Reminds me of an early stage 2011, and this wine in 2017 seems set to age just as gracefully in the end." 94

Xavier Auerbach 2020 – "Trade tasting, brief note. Like the Du Tertre juicy and supple and relatively easy, with a touch of liquorice, light structure and weight, light finish." 91
