CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2023 Giscours is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, new leather, dried herbs, chocolate and gravel infuse the palate with notable depth and intensity. This has really shut down post-bottling. Giscours is usually much more charming in its youth. Today, the stress of a vintage marked by heat and low yields of just 30 hectoliters per hectare comes through in the wine's tannic profile and overall feel.
William Kelley
The 2023 Giscours is one of the real successes of the vintage, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and red fruits mingled with hints of undergrowth, violets and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's seamless and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a long, broad finish. It's a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.A fine balance between the spice and cedar notes and dark/black-plum fruit. Good concentration and with layers of flavour. Slightly more traditional in character with the woody notes leading the way at the moment. This should evolve into a classic bordeaux with a few more years in bottle. (AWH)
