Refined and harmonious, the 2016 Giscours delivers cassis, rose petal, pencil lead, and subtle spice in a silky, medium- to full-bodied frame. The palate is beautifully layered, with fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish. A graceful Margaux from a vintage praised for its balance and purity.

This has attractive, glossy, ripe red-plum and licorice aromas with cedar, flowers and red berries, as well as a stony edge. A very fragrant, cabernet-driven nose. The palate has elegance and grace with sleek and charming, balanced style and a discreet tannin structure that holds the finish long and fresh. A blend of 81 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 19 per cent merlot. Try from 2023.

Giscours has been hitting it out of the park for a number of vintages now, and we are squarely back in this territory for the 2016. Firm tannins, among the biggest in the appellation, but not overdone because of a vibrant, flexible quality to these essential elements of structure. The sheer volume of bilberry and cassis fruits on the full, dark palate show that clearly the anthocyanin and IPT counts are right up there. This is complex, layered and well held together.

Made by the same team as Château Giscours, the Margaux classed growth estate, the wine is exceptional for the result from its Haut-Médoc appellation and its age. Rich with structured black fruits, it shows fine tannins and a black cherry aroma. Drink this full wine now.
