Critic Notes
Sleek and racy, featuring some lovely cassis, cedar and black cherry flavors. Medium body, supple tannins. Drink in 1997. 3,500 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1996
Score: 86-/100 Wine Spectator
The 1993's plump, corpulent style is typical for Giscours. Possessing more fat than most wines of the vintage, this chunky, straightforward, mouthfilling claret reveals moderate tannin, as well as fine ripeness, body, and fruit. It should drink well over the next 7-10 years. Feb 1995, www.robertparker.com
Score: 85-/100 Robert Parker
