Product Description
DR96 "Very perfumed: violets, irises and blackcurrants, supple and lively. Lifted and bright, with fruit and acidity to the fore. Lean and streamlined, tannic structure is there but no sign this has been pushed too far. Not trying too hard, clean and refined with noticeable acidity. A lovely wine. (Drink between 2024-2040)" Georgina Hindle for Decanter, April 2024
JA96 "High levels of Cabernet Sauvignon, a reflection of how well this grape did in the 2016 vintage as well as replanting in the vineyards, and you start to see the Giscours of today. Beautiful, this for me is hugely better than the 2009, with creaminess to the texture, and plenty of dark ripe fruit character, paired with grip and understated power, opening through to bitter chocolate, sage, liquorice and campfire smoke. Great quality, full of energy and saline kick. Second year with Denis Dubourdieu as consultant, 50% new oak. Simonit and Sirch began to work on the pruning in the vineyards also at this point. Harvest September 27 to October 14." Jane Anson, Feb 2024
