Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2015 Giscours simply towers above the preceding three vintages, perhaps a benchmark for the estate. Gorgeously pure red berry fruit, pressed flowers and light cedar scents pour from the glass, beautifully defined as the bouquet blossoms with aeration. The palate has exquisite balance, finely chiseled tannins, energy and tension with a peppery finish. It’s everything the 2014 wanted to be but this actually is. The 2015 needs another year or two in bottle, but it is a great Giscours.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2055
Robert Parker 94+
“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Giscours opens with expressive cassis, blackberry and red currants on the nose with touches of cedar chest, roses and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied with a good core of muscular fruit and firm, grainy tannins, it finishes long.”
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039
