The 2020 Giscours has impressive fruit concentration on the nose black cherries, cassis and touches of violet but it is tightly coiled at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening, supple weight and ample depth toward the finish, maint

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, the 2020 Giscours reveals a deep garnet-purple color and compelling notes of crushed redcurrants, plum preserves and Morello cherries, leading to hints of lavender, wild sage, damp soil and black truffles with a touch of licorice. The medium-bodied palate bursts with vibrant red and black fruits and lots of savory accents, supported by soft, very well managed tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot. Cask sample. Deep crimson hue. Reined-in and reserved at present but leans towards a dark-fruit expression. Mouth-filling fruit on the palate with just a touch of sweetness and fine-grained tannins that support and build behind. Supple texture, good persistence and freshness all the way through. Potential.
