96pts Wine Enthusiast

Pronounced toast aromas follow through to the palate, yielding an assertive smoky toast character throughout. However, this impressive wine’s real potential is the undertow of ripe fruit. It needs cellaring for many years to fully harmonize.

95pts James Suckling

Blueberries, tar and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied, solid and dense. Velvety tannins. Long finish. Down on this! Needs at least two or three years to soften.

92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2014 Giscours has come on leaps and bounds since I tasted it twice in barrel. It is clearly more sophisticated and complex than the du Tertre on the nose. For a start, there is more fruit concentration with red cherries, raspberry and blackcurrant laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with a precise finish that the property never used to be able to offer. This is a lovely Margaux that should drink well for 20 years.

91pts Wine Spectator

This shows a caressing feel from the start, with alluring black tea and incense notes weaving around lightly macerated plum, blackberry and black currant fruit flavors. A floral accent gilds the finish. Pretty wine. Best from 2018 through 2028.

90pts Decanter

Elegant, crunchy black fruits on the nose and florality and ripeness on the palate. Typical classy Giscours with seductive charm and elegant tannins. Rating: 90+

About the Wine

2014 has been a beautiful year: mild winter and warm summer with regular rainfall. The Indian summer, from the beginning of September, brought a favorable climate for the maturity of the grapes. Château Giscours 2014 has all the qualities of a Great Wine from Médoc. This vintage offers density and complexity, brought by the Cabernet Sauvignon, with a concentrated and precise finish. The Petit Verdot brings substance to the blend. 2014 is a well-balanced wine, deep and structured with silky tannins. The perfect illustration of a Great Wine.

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 20% Merlot
