Chateau Giscours 2014

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The 2014 Giscours has come on leaps and bounds since I tasted it twice in barrel. It is clearly more sophisticated and complex than the du Tertre on the nose. For a start, there is more fruit concentration with red cherries, raspberry and blackcurrant laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with a precise finish that the property never used to be able to offer. This is a lovely Margaux that should drink well for 20 years.

Blueberries, tar and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied, solid and dense. Velvety tannins. Long finish. Down on this!

Jancis Robinson (17)

Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Mellow, warm, complex nose. Lots of pleasure and lift. Some maturity and charm, though the finish is pretty dry. Clean, brisk finish and real persistence.

Wine Enthusiast (95)

Still dry and concentrated and with swathes of rich tannins, the wine is dark and dense. The undertow of ripe black fruit is impressive. It obviously has considerable aging potential, Drink this serious wine from 2025.
