17 Rene Gabriel
Aufhellendes Granat mit mittlerer Dichte, feiner Rand. Dichtes Bouquet, fein würzige Mitte mit Pfefferkörnern, hellem Tabak und einem Hauch Eisenkraut, aussen Maulbeeren. Im Gaumen fein, elegant, schon fast milde Adstringenz zeigend, angenehmes Finale mit leicht süsslichem Beerenton. Es fehlt halt dann doch etwas an Konzentration und Druck für den nächsten Punkt. warten (2017 - 2034)

The plump, rich and densely purple-colored 2012 Giscours, has turned out very well in this vintage, offering loads of fruit. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a moderate finish, and is medium to full-bodied, with excellent licorice and crème de cassis notes, and a broad, round, juicy mouthfeel. This is a wine that can be drunk young or cellared for 12-15 years.

This has a noticeable pepper and charcoal backdrop, but the core of black tea, crushed plum and warm currant confiture holds sway overall, while refined tannins carry the finish. Should fill out a bit more with cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2022. 23,330 cases made. –JM
