Tasting note: Nose
Elegant and fragrant, almost sensual, the bouquet is marked by the purity of black fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. The delicious chocolate notes mingles with delicate spicy and floral nuances.
Palate
On the palate, all the finesse and refinement of Château Giscours’ signature style is expressed through a smooth texture, with a mellow mid-palate focused on the brightness of the fruit. The coated tannins structure this Margaux wine nicely and leads to a long, lingering, mineral and pure finish.
