Tasting Notes

JancisRobinson.com 17.5

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot. Harvested 8 September to 2 October. The most typically Margaux to date. Fine, fragrant and complex. Lovely texture and tannins. A gentle nuance to the wine but structured all the same. Just the right touch of elegance and precision. Should age gracefully. [11/09/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2027-2045

Slightly muted nose. Just a bit middle of the road on the palate. There’s some red fruit and a crunch of tannin but nothing exceptional. [Matthew Hemming, 01/01/2024]

Antonio Galloni 96

The 2020 Giscours is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Succulent dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, menthol and mocha fill out the layers nicely. There’s a good bit of Merlot in this year, which lends quite a bit of mid-palate juiciness and textural depth, but there is also plenty of supporting structure underneath. The 2020 is both flamboyant and serious, a pretty appealing combination, I have to say. Tasted two times. [Antonio Galloni, 23/02/2023]

Anticipated maturity: 2028-2050

Neal Martin 94

The 2020 Giscours has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with blackberry, blueberry, crushed violet and iris flower scents. As I remarked from barrel, there is a conspicuous gap between the Grand Vin and Deuxieme Vin this year. The palate is smooth on the entry, quite sapid with hints of black olive infusing the black fruit. Harmonious, the 50% new oak neatly folded in, especially on the seductive finish. Interestingly, a decanted bottle had a bit more austerity on the finish than the one just poured. [Neal Martin, 08/02/2023]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2050

Wine Advocate 93

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, the 2020 Giscours reveals a deep garnet-purple color and compelling notes of crushed redcurrants, plum preserves and Morello cherries, leading to hints of lavender, wild sage, damp soil and black truffles with a touch of licorice. The medium-bodied palate bursts with vibrant red and black fruits and lots of savory accents, supported by soft, very well managed tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 05/05/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2044
