Made mostly from old-vine Pinot Noir
the wine has an opaque ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of sassafras
filling the mouth with depths of pure fruit before the acid pours forth like a canal lock being opened
A recent 90 pointer from Vinous' Antonio Galloni who calls it
The freshly crushed mint leaf finish is beautiful
2021 Chateau Giscours Margaux 1986 Made mostly from old-vine Pinot95 points, Vinous "The 2021 Giscours is not quite as showy as some recent vintages, but all the ingredients are there. Aromatic, deep and layered, with tremendous balance, the 2021 has so much to offer. Rose petal, mint, spice, orange peel and dried herbs are some of the notes that build. The 2021 is a wine of exquisite precision bright and driving, with notable tension. It is seriously impressive at this stage." Antonio Galloni Feb 2024
