WINE IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN 2013
Tasting note: 2010: It is a little unsettling to realize that 2009 and 2010 may be the greatest back to back Bordeaux vintages produced in the history of the region. The over-achieving Giscours has turned in a great performance in 2010, which possesses an opaque purple color as well as notes of licorice, black truffles, sweet blackberry and cassis fruit, flowers and soil undertones. It is very full-bodied and exceptionally opulent, fat and round, but the vintage’s acids, precision, high glycerin, alcohol and extract are all present. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25-30 years. (92-95pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: May 2011
Score: 92-95
Drink: 2013-43
Tasting note: This is very structured and muscular with a lots of toasty new wood showing now but if you dig deep you see a rich and beautiful fruit and velvety tannin structure. Is this the new 1970? Very sexy. (94-95pts. James Suckling)
Tasted: Apr. 2011
Score: 94-95
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: Polished, with lots of alluring mocha and licorice notes leading the way, followed by creamy blueberry, blackberry and black cherry fruit. The finish is long and creamy. (91-94pts. JM, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Mar. 2011
Score: 91-94
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: Dark-hued wine; Fruity, ripe and deep on the nose. Supple on entry then crammed with taste on the palate. It picks up power from the mid-palate and ends on a sappy and lingering length laced with finely-grained and fragrant tannins. Utterly delicious. (90pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)
