Château Giscours Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 1982

The aromatics on the nose here are subtle, with ripe raspberry puree, tobacco leaf and truffle. It is not at the height of the best 1982s, but there is clear charm here, with gentle tawny autmnal brambled fruits, edges of patisserie flaky pastry, cinnamon spice, some clear warm vintage markers. In full tertiary phase, but with real charm. Light sediment, this needs to be carafed but only just before drinking, because it is still at an age that it needs to be taken care of.
