CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2017 Giscours has a sense of airiness on the nose, well defined with rose petal, a touch of pencil shavings and more red fruit than the 2016. It unfolds nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It's not quite as pixelated or as precise as the previous vintage, but it's quite powerful for a 2017, with a very peppery, spicy finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. This is a fine Giscours.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Giscours offers pretty plum preserves, warm cassis and wilted roses scents with fragrant earth and cinnamon stick hints. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and plush with lovely expressiveness and a bit of spice on the finish.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Slightly muted on the nose with fresh rubber and summer pudding. The palate is lithe and sinewy, with fine but persistent tannins framing a bright core of red fruit. Lightly spiced on the finish, with hints of cedar and pine. Honest and compact. (TP)
