Wonderful, this is the best Giscours since 1970. A great waft of fruit on the
nose is amply supported by a palate that epitomises the best of 2005 Bordeaux:
it is full and rich yet is also very fresh with ripe but firm tannins and a
lovely minerality. Making 25% less of the Grand Vin than in 2004, this is
reminiscent of the 1990 vintage but is cleaner with better acidity. This is
very classic, masculine and serious and makes an ideal counterpart to the more
approachable Du Tertre. Once again, the Margaux terroir shines through here,
with wonderful concentrated fruit and a structure that marks it out as a real
vin de garde.

"Mulbery tone, rich and ripe, dense warm red fruits. Cool entry, fine soft mid
palate, black fruits and powdery tannins"

This forward-styled 2005 possesses a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a
big, sweet bouquet of roasted herbs, fudge, espresso, figs, and cherry jam.
Opulent, even decadent, with low acidity, but high glycerin and fruit extract
as well as a flamboyant fleshiness, this is a stunningly impressive,
hedonistic, savory Margaux to enjoy between 2010-2025.
