About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChateau Giscours tend approximately 80 hectares of vineyards and are known as one of the most sizeable producers in Margaux. The property has seen vast improvement since its early life, with amendments to winemaking, the winemaking facility and to viticultural work - the resultant wines, generally dominant in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, are lower in new oak than many from the region, yet still manage evocative, complex perfume and coursing fruit character to taste. This 2010 has been called out for its incredibly high quality notable for 'punching above' its mere 3rd Growth status.

I thought this could be even more spectacular than it is, given the way the 2010 from Giscours performed from the barrel, but it is certainly outstanding. A beautiful wine, stunningly opulent, accessible and almost atypically forward, it is plump and delicious already, and in that sense, it is almost reminiscent of the 2009. Deep ruby/plum/purple, with juicy black raspberry and black currant fruit as well as hints of cedar, licorice, forest floor and underbrush, the 2010 is medium to full-bodied, layered, round and impossible to resist already. It should drink beautifully for 20-25 years.
