critic reviews
The 2015 Giscours has a well-defined nose with vibrant red berry fruit, violet, iris flower and hints of camphor developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, yet this is finely chiseled with wonderful tension toward the persistent and precise finish. This is excellent and it aligns with the impressive showing in October 2024. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.
A ton of espresso and cocoa bean grilling on the opening, softening through to damson, black cherry, orange peel, touch of heat and this needs longer in bottle to soften out the concentrated, slightly awkward tannins. Suggest giving this a few more years in bottle, because there is plenty of potential but not giving its best. 50% new oak for ageing. Harvest September 15 to October 10. Denis Dubourdieu consultant, Didier Forêt technical director.
