Château Giscours Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Subtle and pretty on the nose, with blueberry, blackberry and hints of flowers. Full and very fine, showing a beautiful texture of polished tannins. Wonderfully long and balanced... Wine Spectator

Generous nose of blackberry compote, violets, forest brush and cedar. On the palate, expect ripe tannins, black cherry and a fair amount of glycerol. It's full, round, fat and totally hedonistic.

Dusty rose, dirty Frenchman right here. There's just something about old world wine and the taste of French terroir. || Cypher wine training : Bordeaux varietals ||

Still young. Good to drink after 2 hour awake.

#1 at Bordeaux blind tasting. Ripe black fruit and mild tannins. Velvet, long finish. ++example of a ++ year. Wish we had more back home.

If I put this blind in a Ca Cabernet tastings, most of you would call Ca Cabernet. Rich big dark cassis, huge baking spices, caramel and dry dark florals. Out of magnum.

2009 vintage. Generous fill. Fairy tale cork. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins. Just a little bit of sed. Light-medium body as is the usual Giscours style. Some cherry prettiness melded with dusty earth and appropriate tannic presence. Nose a bit of dark plum that wasn’t forwarded onto the flavor platform-at least at the opportunity I had to enjoy it. Never an explosive style from this Château and this was opened about 5-7 years too early to hit the top of the specific bell curve. Drinking very very nicely now and (easily) for the next decade +. 4.20.24.
