Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Geniales Bouquet, viel Kräuter, Cakesfrüchte, Englische Bonbons, frisch gekochte Pflaumen und auch Cassis, doch das Wichtigste sind die feinen Kräutertöne, welche dieses enorme Fruchtbild ergänzen. Im Gaumen wie Samt und Seide, feinste Tannine, veloursartige Extraktkontur, langes Finale. Hier ist - in einem nicht einfachen Jahr - ein ziemlich gross ausgefallener Giscours entstanden. Bravo! Drei Mal verkostet, oft im Vergleich mit seinen direkten Margaux-Konkurrenten. warten (2018 - 2044)

The 2011 Giscours is tighter on the nose that its peers and demanded more coaxing, blackberry and melted tar, graphite and hints of blood orange. Good complexity. The palate is taut and fresh, well defined with crisp, edgy tannins, graphite and tobacco towards the finish that has a Pauillac-like character. This is drinking well, better than two or three years ago, and should give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
Producer
Château Giscours
As one of the largest Margaux properties, Château Giscours represents one of the eleven 3ème Grand Cru Classés in the region. Located in the communes of Larbarde and Arsac, the château lies in the Margaux appellation. With a long and detailed history that can be traced back to the fourteenth century, Château Giscours is currently owned by Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jedgersma since 1995. Managed by the dynamic Alexander van Beek, the property owns 95-hectares of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a bit of Petit Verdot. The Grand Vin, Giscours, is a rich, textured and perfectly aromatic wine, consistently one of Margaux’s best. In a similar spirit of quality, the estate produces two powerful secondary wines, La Sirene de Giscours, and Le Rose de Giscours.
