FROM THE
EXPERTS

This opulent 2003 possesses loads of herbaceously-tinged black currant and black cherry fruit intertwined with hints of road tar and barbecue smoke, a medium- to full-bodied texture, and reasonable freshness. This still intact 2003 can be drunk over the next 3-4 years. Drink 2014-2018

Is this the best Giscours since then? Excellent depth, fleshy and sweet with ripe tannins. Great Margaux purity. Intense aromas of cooked fruit and prunes. Full-bodied with rich and ripe fruit character. Soft, round tannins and a long finish. Heady and rich. Port-like. Could be the legendary 1970 in the re-make.

Certainly a superior Giscours.
