Château Giscours Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 2001

Vibrant and finessed, a real reminder that the best Bordeaux ages slowly and keeps delivering. Understated, with a creamy texture that suggests beautifully ripe fruits and well defined tannins, delivers grip and length, cassis, mint leaf, and a seductive charm, draws you in and keeps you engaged. 50% new oak, harvest September 28 to October 12.
