Pronounced toast aromas follow through to the palate, yielding an assertive smoky toast character throughout. However, this impressive wine’s real potential is the undertow of ripe fruit. It needs cellaring for many years to fully harmonize.

The 2014 Giscours has a slightly muddled bouquet with tertiary/woodland scents infusing the broody black fruit, austere but attractive. With aeration it seems to find its groove and develop more clarity and detail. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple and focused. There is lovely balance and poise to this Giscours, with a tensile and precise finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. - By Neal Martin

The 2014 Giscours has come on leaps and bounds since I tasted it twice in barrel. It is clearly more sophisticated and complex than the du Tertre on the nose. For a start, there is more fruit concentration with red cherries, raspberry and blackcurrant laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with a precise finish that the property never used to be able to offer. This is a lovely Margaux that should drink well for 20 years.
Our Tasting Note:
Youthful, deep ruby core still no bricking edges. A beautiful and pretty bouquet that is med+ with brighter red cherry and currants, graphite and pencil shavings, perfumed, floral, spicy, and forest floor.  Med/med+ bodied, medium acidity,  med/med+ tannins are long and fine, with medium+ intensity and a long, pretty finish. Elegance personified in wine, maturation is evolving nicely on this wine, but it has yet to enter middle age. 

Chateau: 2014 has been a beautiful year : mild winter and warm summer with regular rainfall. The indian summer, from beginning of september, brought a favorable climate for the maturity of the grapes. Château Giscours 2014 has all the qualities of a Great Wine from Médoc. This vintage offers density and complexity, brought by the Cabernet Sauvignon, with a concentrated and precise finish. The Petit Verdot brings substance to the blend. 2014 is a well-balanced wine, deep and structured with silky tannins. The perfect illustration of a Great Wine.
