Chateau Giscours 2017

- 90 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Giscours offers pretty plum preserves, warm cassis and wilted roses scents with fragrant earth and cinnamon stick hints. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and plush with lovely expressiveness and a bit of spice on the finish."

- 96 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: "This wine is rich with tannins and ripe black fruits. A core of lusciousness gives the wine weight and density. It will be a fine wine to drink from 2024."

- 91 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, James Molesworth: "A savory edge leads the way here, featuring a mix of red and black cherry fruit infused with black tea and juniper notes. The silky finish lets everything linger easily in unison. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. 17,500 cases made."

- 93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2017 Giscours is the result of an especially stringent selection, the most dramatic at the property going back to 1995. Medium in body, with terrific freshness and energy, the 2017 shows very well today. Dark red cherry, red plum, spice, licorice, tobacco and savory herbs all grace the glassy, understated Giscours. I can't wait to see how the 2017 ages given its vibrancy and terrific sense of harmony."

- 18 Punkte Rene Gabriel's BORDEAUX TOTAL, Andre Kunz: "Kunz Fassprobe 18: Fein mineralisches, burgundisches, würziges Bouquet, Heidelbeeren, Erdbeeren, Röstaromen, heller Tabak. Ausgewogener, seidener, feingliedriger, feinfruchtiger Gaumen mit kräftiger, süsser Aromatik, feinem Tannin, fein cremiger Struktur, frischer Frucht, langer, voller Abgang."

- 94 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Subtle aromas of ripe fruit with plums and hints of clove and stone. Complex. Medium to full body with a fine line of tannins running through the mid-palate. Fresh and creamy texture. A blend of 71% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 5% petit verdot. Drink after 2021."

- 17 Punkte VINUM: „Besonders reintönig, diskret und fruchtig in der Nase; stoffig und vollmundig im Mund, gut strukturiert, mit noch etwas bloss liegenden, etwas harschen Gerbstoffen. Trinkfenster 2030-2040“
