The 2010 Giscours put in a strange showing that did not correlate to previous showing with a somewhat lactic, chocolate-tinged nose that bore traits of a Cabernet from say, Coonawarra. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite toasty with the oak more marked than its peers. I would like to re-examine this. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

Bright ruby-red. Cassis, blackberry and licorice pastille on the nose. Then sweet, juicy and energetic in the mouth, with complex flavors of plum, currant, cedar, tobacco and spices along with a gamey nuance. Firmly built but not hard. Finishes with serious but fine-grained tannins and a note of licorice. Still a bit strict today, this wine has the structure to repay aging. Juli 2013

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Giscours slips seductively out of the glass with notions of baked black cherries, mulberries and plum preserves plus hints of cassis, pencil lead and dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is toting a fair amount of oak with a sturdy frame of chewy tannins, coming through with a long, fruity finish. März 2020

Aromas of mint and currants with hints of fresh herbs. Then turns to plum jam. Full body, with well-integrated tannins and pretty fruit. Long and caressing. This is really outstanding. Better in 2017. Februar 2013
