Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 1, 2018 - This wine was disappointing. This was my first exposure to Chateau Giscours. My wife and I drank this wine at a high end New York City Restaurant. The label was in perfect condition. The wine was decanted at table side. The wine was dark red with no signs of oxidation. There was a marked floral bouquet. The flavor was not balanced. There were marked notes of raw wood with untamed tannin. The fruit was subdued. Even with air exposure of about an hour the lack of balance did not improve. The wine was OK with an extended multi course meal, alone it would not have been enjoyable. Compared to the many other Margaux wines I have had in a similar price range and age this wine was a disappointment.
