"Discret au premier nez, le 2012 de Giscours s'ouvre à l'aération sur d'élégants arômes naissants de fruits rouges, agrémentés de notes épicées et vanillées. En bouche, il évolue avec souplesse et rondeur, sans manquer de corps, porté par des tanins soyeux et un boisé bien intégré. La finale, longiligne et fruitée, laisse le souvenir d'un margaux aérien, construit sur la finesse plutôt que sur la force."
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.

Taste
On the palate the best Margaux are those who have perfectly integrated their tannins in their structure, giving roundness. We find the aromas of the nose namely black fruits and tertiary flavors such as leather, vanilla.
