Expert Reviews
The black color indicates a solid and structured red with loads of blackberry and blueberry character. Full-bodied and very tight and tensioned. Savory tannins that are powerful and intense at the finish. Classically structured. Finely toned and formed young red.
Brushed damson, fine but firm tannins, lots of dark deep fruits and powerful oak that slightly detracts from appellation typicity. This is confident and good-quality but needs a lot of time in bottle.
The 2018 Giscours has a very Burgundian bouquet with pure red cherries, cassis and violet scents, well defined and less ostentatious than some of its peers. The palate is quite voluminous and powerful, with thickly layered black fruit, black pepper and mint. It's missing the grace of the '16 but has impressive length. This will be fascinating to observe as it matures in bottle.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Giscours opens with fragrant notions of kirsch, black cherry compote and blackcurrant pastilles with suggestions of dried lavender, cinnamon stick and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a good amount of red and black fruit flavors with compelling purity, framed by soft tannins and well-balanced freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.
