Impressive that this second wine from Giscours is drinking so well at this stage. However, there's no question that it won't get better from here. Red fruit, spice, and dark chocolate aromas are most apparent on the nose. Soft structure and medium weight. Impressive fresh acidity that balances well with the fruit. Quite enjoyable.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #084; Margaux (By RG): Beautiful bouquet with ripe cassis, some smoke, graphite and also a creamy impression. On the palate the wine starts with red fruits, then black fruits, licorice root, tobacco, cedar and some chocolate. Good acidity and soft tannin and bitterness. Pleasant wine. Ready now and the coming year. Do not wait too long.

Flowery nose with rich sweet jammy fruits, the palate is simple and yet rather rich, slightly sweet! Beautiful and delicious at the same time!

Quite enjoyable, though not exceptional and perhaps not worth a wait of 20 years. Saved some for the second night but it didn't hold up.
