Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, pur et subtil. Délicat à l'attaque, suave en milieu de bouche, le vin évolue un brin âpre en finale et c'est dommage. Longueur normale et sèveuse.

This pure cabernet sauvignon shows very pretty peaches, cherries and stones, even crushed cement. Medium body with some phenolic tension and a lightly austere and fresh finish. Probably the best rosé in Bordeaux.

This is a serious Giscours, with medium intensity violet-edged ruby colour. High aromatics on the nose with cumin and cloves, followed by black cherry and cassis fruits that do a good job of filling the palate, and a cooling menthol finish as the tannins close in. Enjoyable overall, succulent yet with precision. Harvest lasted for an entire month, from September 11 to October 12, the longest ever at the estate and a reflection of more precise plot-by-plot work, with vines separated according to age and terroir.

Il s'agit d'un Giscours bluffant, le meilleur goûté en primeur. Il explose littéralement de fruit et envahit la bouche avec un jusfrais, des notes de fruits rouges, et des tanins salins et fondus. Une réussite majeure.

Really solid for the vintage, with a fresh edge to the mix of black currant, blackberry and fig paste flavors. This wine's energy extends through the finish, where humus, singed cedar, savory and iron-tinged minerality add range and cut. Still shows the vintage's excessive heat, but this manages it better than most of its peers. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2035.

A ripe and layered red with lots of currant and chocolate character, as well as some walnut and cocoa powder. Crushed stones, too. It’s full and layered with round tannins and a juicy and plush texture. Crushed velvet that turns to silk. Very cool and long. Plenty going on here. Give it three to four years to come together. But will age beautifully for years to come. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% merlot. Try after 2026.

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Zwetschkenfrucht, dunkle Beeren, ein Hauch von Lakritze und Dörrobst, startet langsam, braucht viel Luft, um sich zu öffnen. Gute Komplexität, reife Pflaumen, rote Kirschen, integrierte Tannine, zartes Nougat, gute Frische, im Moment nur mittlere Länge, wird von weiterer Flaschenreife profitieren.

The 2019 Giscours has turned out very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, burning embers, lilac and violets framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's polished and perfumed, with a velvety, seamless profile and bright animating acids, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Alexandre Van Beek and his team are taking this estate to heights it hasn't hit since the 1970s, and this is another of the great bargains of the 2019 en primeur campaign.
