Château  Giscours  2016 – Margaux, Cru Classé

The  nose  is  elegant  and  offers  gourmandize. It  reveals  notes of ripe cassis, wild  strawberry  and more  slightly  wild  small  fruits  associated  with  touches of  spices, fine  hints  of  toasted, chocolate/vanilla, flowers  as  well  as  very  discreet  hints  of gray  pepper (in the background). The  palate  is  fruity, juicy, mineral  and  offers  a  beautiful  minerality/freshness, a fine  acidulous  frame, a  beautiful  definition, suavity, fat, tension, a good structure as  well  as a  beautiful  fine grain. On the  palate  this  wine  expresses notes of  fleshy/juicy  blackberry  and  fleshy/juicy  strawberry  associated  with  small  notes of  raspberry  a s well  as  small  touches of  flowers, tonka  bean, ceddar  wood  and  discreet  hints  of  spices (in the background).
