Giscours : 33 results priced between £10.00 and £500.00

Tasting Notes: Very deep colour and generous nose of berry and plums, full bodie+J96d, well developed fruit with rich and ripe tannins.

Dark plum/garnet, this elegant, medium to full-bodied, beguiling, seductive 2008 is a sleeper of the vintage. Round and silky-smooth with lovely black cherry and black currant fruit imbued with touches of smoke, herbs and earth, this relatively evolved effort is best consumed over the next 15-17 years.

Bordeaux is France's largest quality wine region, indeed producing almost as much wine as Australia. Its westerly position ensures a mild maritime climate, a long growing season and mild summers; rains in the autumn are the primary threat to the harvest, dampening expectations in around one year in three. Red wine predominates - indeed many white wine vines are being uprooted today - with Merlot the dominant variety. The region is dissected by the Gironde estuary, with on the Left Bank the district...

Description and Reviews: "This wine has held up nicely despite having been fully mature for well over 15 years. The colour has lightened into a medium dusty ruby, but the rich, full, earthy, superripe, curranty bouquet is still lively and penetrating. In the mouth, the wine has the foursquare, beefy, chunky character that often characterizes Giscours, a certain tarry, slightly oxidized character, but finishes with plenty of richness and a heady alcohol content." Robert Parker Bordeaux 3rd Ed. Parker...

Description and Reviews: 91 Points - Parker "This forward-styled 2005 possesses a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a big, sweet bouquet of roasted herbs, fudge, espresso, figs, and cherry jam. Opulent, even decadent, with low acidity, but high glycerin and fruit extract as well as a flamboyant fleshiness, this is a stunningly impressive, hedonistic, savory Margaux to enjoy between 2010-2025." Parker, Wine Advocate

Description of this Margaux This Giscours 2002, still in its youth, is of a lovely dense and profound ruby-crimson colour. Its elegant nose unveils spicy, toasted and honeyed notes, along with fruity aromas which add to its bouquet: ripe fruits, blackcurrant and a dash of rose. Supple in its attack, on the palate it delivers finesse and a beautiful persistency of the tannins. This delicate, plump, charming and round wine, has a silk finish and a great length which leads on to a sweet finish.

Three. It’s a magic number. Think of all the brilliant three-related phenomena – you’ve got The Corrs (if you don’t count the brother), you’ve got the Holy Trinity, you’ve got…triangles. But you also have ‘La Sirene’. The ‘third’ wine of the prestigious Chateau Giscours, La Sirene is a shy little thing. But, like a supportive sibling, or an encouraging drama teacher, we are here to say ‘step into the light! Hide no more under a bushel, La Sirene!’ It’s time has come and, with a fruit-forward, assertive...

Tasting notes Chateau Giscours Margaux 2005. Impatient people will feel it is delightful even young, however, it has a good ageing potential that it would be wise to take advantage of, within a few years its aromas of red and black fruits, smoked and grilled, will achieve their climax in the succulence level.

The 2012 from this 80 hectare Third Growth estate has a seductive, gently perfumed nose of black and redcurrant fruit.

Tasting notes Château Giscours 2009. 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc. 'This is the finest Giscours I have tasted in my professional career. Succulent and sexy with an inky/purple colour, it offers sweet aromas of subtle barbecue smoke, graphite, blackberries, blueberries, and spring flowers. The tannins are remarkably sweet and well-integrated and the wine is full-bodied as well as voluptuously textured.' Robert Parker. Drink 2017 - 2025.

Description and Reviews: *** 90 Points - Parker *** Reviews: "The deep plum/purple-coloured 2001 exhibits notes of melted licorice, barbecue spices, violets, black currants, and a hint of blackberries. Medium-bodied and fleshy, with a cunning style that sneaks up on the palate, building in increments, this pure, rich, concentrated yet elegant, charming effort provides further evidence of this chateau’s strong rebound". PArker Wine Advocate. "..A touch of leather, scorcher earth, wild strawberry...

Description and Reviews: ** 87 Points - Wine Journal ** Reviews "This nose is not dissimilar to du Tertre, touches of green pepper, hints towards the Bourgeuil of the Loire, but well defined and lifted. The palate is medium-bodied, dry tannins, a lot of extract, a more traditional Giscours but showing just a little leanness towards the peppery, green stalky finish." Neil Martin Wine Journal 2009

Wonderfully sweet tannins envelop the enormous fruit and extravagant richness of this full-bodied Mouton Rothschild. With profound density as...
