  A deep and sound colour, a whiff of iodine, a tad sweet, the ripeness of the vintage, red fruit, noticeable wood; more power than you normally expect in the appellation Margaux; maybe a bit rough, but lots of fun in your glass.

  Académie des Cinquante Tasting and Dinner with the Académie du Vin de Bordeaux (Restaurant Entrepot, Amsterdam, NL): Double Magnum. Extremely delicate even in this grand format, fragrant, almost Burgundian, supple amd sweet, fully resolved tannins, hint of spice, long and gravelly finish.

  This example of the 1990 Giscours is not impressive, showing a rustic, red apple nose marred by volatile acidity. If anything, this underscores the point as to how far Giscours has come over the past few decades as the wines are now clean and very good. I heard that the bottle across the table was better.

  Very good wine still. Not as wonderful as I remember my last tasting 3 years ago, but still drinking well. Very balanced, with a nice hit of fruit and acidity on the finish. Would drink these up.

  Well stored bottle with a pristine label. Popped and poured at a wine bar. Ready from the get go. Silken mouthfeel and wonderful ripeness of fruit despite its age. Ready to drink but can hold for five more years. Outstanding!
