Chateau Giscours 2016 Margaux
weiteres von

The 2016 Giscours is complex. aromatically intense and beguiling. with myriad layers of flavors that unfold with time in the glass. Black cherry. sage. leather. smoke and menthol add plenty of intrigue. but above all else. it is the wine's balance and sense of harmony that make the deepest impression. Under the leadership of Alexander Van Beek and his team. Giscours has been on a roll over the last few years. The 2016 is another fine vintage.

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Giscours gives up aromas of cassis. chocolate. earth. tar. pepper and hoisin with touches of flowers and a meaty nuance. The palate is medium to full-bodied. firm and grainy with a great core and a long finish.

This has attractive. glossy. ripe red-plum and licorice aromas with cedar. flowers and red berries. as well as a stony edge. A very fragrant. cabernet-driven nose. The palate has elegance and grace with sleek and charming. balanced style and a discreet tannin structure that holds the finish long and fresh. A blend of 81 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 19 per cent merlot. Try from 2023.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Giscours 2016 im April 2017:
The 2016 Giscours is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot. the highest percentage of Cabernet in recent years. picked between 26 September and 20 October. It was cropped at 45 hectoliters per hectare with 13.2% alcohol. which is a little less than in 2015. Naturally that dominant proportion of Cabernet drives the aromatics with blackberry. cedar and graphite aromas. The palate is very well structured. more masculine than the 2015 and maybe without quite the same level of precision. but there is great density and length to this Giscours. I found that improved in the glass. gaining more energy from the ether. It is an impressive follow-up to last year's Giscours.

This is extremely long and linear with a powerful and refined texture of superfine tannins. Full-bodied. yet so tight and polished. The finish is very. very impressive. Snaps at the end. Better than the 2015?

Bay. savory and iron notes lead off in this energetic wine. Lots of juicy cherry and plum fruit forms the core. Singed alder accents line the finish. There's lots going on here. but this pulls together nicely in the end. Well done. —J.M.
