Tasting note: Good full red. Roasted fruits, leather and a whiff of game on the nose. Fat and powerful, with impressive material and volume for this Margaux. Seems rather heavily extracted, but the wine's sweetness is impressive. The young 2005 is finer, though. (88pts ST, International Wine Cellar)
Tasted: May/June 2006
Score: 88
Drink: N/A
Tasting note:Aromas of blackberry, black olives and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Refined and nicely done. Best after 2010. 21,665 cases made. (91pts JS, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Mar 31, 2006
Score: 91
Drink: After 2010
Tasting note: Giscours should be taken seriously by consumers as the quality has been ratcheted up over the last 7-8 years. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2003 offers complex, evolved aromatics of wood smoke, chocolate, charcoal, black cherry jam, and cassis. Lush, medium to full-bodied, and broad, with low acidity, copious glycerin, and a layered, persistent finish (it lasts for 40+ seconds), this beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15 years. (90pts RP, Wine Advocate)
