Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Monday, September 21, 2020 - The nose was full of very deep, profound sensations: blackberry, more like blackberry liqueur perhaps, black cherry, violet, a little plum and a touch of menthol on the finish. Quite rich at first, very pure fruit, but powerful and muscular, the blackcurrant and blackberry slightly yeasty as a result. The power didn't taste forced in any way, but it was a bit distracting. It took a couple of hours to simmer down, then the typical Giscours elegance and finesse shone through, with tastes of red fruits coming mid-palate and some freshness on the finish. By the second evening it had improved further and confirmed the impression I had had two years previously - that this is the best Giscours I've had.
