"The 2023 Giscours is the very best wine I have ever tasted here. Giscours has
been knocking on the door of Bordeaux's elite for a few years now. Two
thousand twenty-three is the year in which Giscours joins the region's big boys
and girls. A towering, majestic Margaux, the 2023 dazzles from start to finish.
What a wine!"
- Antonio Galloni
"Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Château Giscours is beautifully done and brings a rare level of opulence while staying balanced and graceful. Cassis and more blue fruits, sappy flowers, violets, and minty herbs all define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness as well as ripe, polished tannins. I love its mid-palate, and it has perfectly integrated acidity and one heck of a great finish. It's going to be a classic Margaux that will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following two decades. The blend is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc."
