Château Giscours Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 1997

A challenging vintage, and we needed a second bottle to unearth the charm, so be careful about variation. The sound bottle showed plenty of character, tobacco leaf, old books, loganberry fruit, balance and sipidity. Ready to drink, with plenty to enoy, this really is in a great moment, juicy, understated, subtle and delicous. Cross your fingers for a good bottle. Pascal Ribereau-Gayon consultant.
