  Medium garnet. Very dry when opened. Have to open up after one hour. Over peak. Not a typical Giscours as one would expect.

  Grenat, ocelle tirant sur le rubis, assez brillant, assez lourd, larmes moyennes et rapides.
  Nez fuyant laissant apparaître un boisé assez simple, des flaveurs de poivron vert et de très faibles fruits rouges (fraises).
  Attaque sans âme, laissant rapidement place à un milieu de bouche creux sur le bois brûlé, sans fruit.
  Finale très courte légèrement verte et avec une pointe de fermentation (chimique).
  Vin sans structure présentant peu d'arômes. Très peu de matière, pas de tanins, et une légère acidité finale. Particulièrement médiocre en 2007.

  Big powerful nose of leather, cigarbox, a hint of tar, fine tannins on the palate, not charming but perfect with my tarte au duxelles (by the glass at Nice Matin).

  Opened an hour before drinking but did not carafe. Wine was a bit disapointing, as little hint of Cork was on-off. Will need to check rest of the stock. Wine itself was dark, fruity, medium length with a bit of tanin. Not very complex.

  Burnt crimson. Singed, plummy nose of violets, leather, tar, and earth. Juicy on entry, followed by chewy and persistent tannins. This is nicely composed, sporting a medium body, layers of fruit, and good acid and structure, but it needs time.
