Château Giscours Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 1978

One of the few high point vintages in the 1970s, and this has attractive aromatics with layers of complex fruits, fragrant grilled spices and campfire smoke. Great poise, unwinds slowly, impressively deep colour, tawny edging, unforced power with mouthwatering salinity on the finish. Earthy, delicate, soot and ash, softened berry fruits, totally charming. Tari family owners.
