Château Giscours 2022 – Margaux, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fresh, spicy, peppery, deep, precise and offers good definition, a certain depth as well as a powdery grain. Racy and peppery. The wine benefits from being decanted. It reveals notes of boysenberry, crushed raspberry and small notes of lily, lilac associated with touches of nutmeg as well as a hint of smoke and discreet hints of eucalyptus. A very discreet hint almost of fresh flowers of saffron / red clover. The palate is nicely built, supple, fresh, mineral, balanced and offers a tangy frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackcurrant, juicy/fresh raspberry and small notes of fresh violet associated with pretty little touches of eucalyptus/sage, a fine hint of cornflower as well as fine hints of cocoa, tobacco and a subtle hint of toast. The tannins are chalky, fresh, and gourmand. Good length. Beautiful power and persistence. A subtle buttery/toasty hint on the aftertaste.
