Château Giscours Margaux

Aroma: The bouquet blends pronounced smoky and roasted notes of black coffee, campfire, and toast with sweet, dark-fruited aromas of blackberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, cassis liqueur, and subtle, spicy hints of forest floor and undergrowth. Taste: On the palate, very expressive, juicy, elegant, expansive, and full-bodied, with the dense, dark, slightly spicy Cabernet fruit of the bouquet (blackcurrants, blackberries) and abundant sweet, ripe tannins that give the wine its seductive, silky-smooth texture and firm structure. The finish is long, perfectly balanced, and possesses remarkable energy, promising Giscours great aging potential despite its relatively low acidity. James Suckling: 96 points, 2015 vintage. Wine Spectator: 93 points, 2015 vintage.
