Description

2012 Château Giscours, Margaux, BordeauxThis is not as concentrated as some vintages, but is an enjoyable Giscours with plenty going for it over the medium term. Smoky black fruit aromas lead to good weight on the attack and through the mid palate, suggesting careful and well controlled extraction of ripe fruits. This takes its time to open and is relatively subdued, but has an enjoyable depth and spiciness. The acidity is juicy rather than tight. Drink 2021 2040 Jane Anson, Decanter. com

Some things just seem to work better together: turkey with cranberry sauce

and a little strawberry in the background

We contemplated leaving a note

After an advent-like period of anticipatedly marrying these casks together

Quite long

given the ripeness

The wine was then left on its lees for 15 years before release

The nose is dense and intense with deep black fruits yet without clumsiness or over extraction - just defined

Gentle aromas of jamón and cured leather mingle with subtle notes of raspberry tea and a touch of musky cedar spice
