A dark gernet coloured wine with good extract. An elegant, earthy nose of blackberries, chocolate and anise. On the palate, it is full-bodeid with very smooth well-integrated fruit flavours . Beautiful soft and age-worthy tannin combine with power through to the lingering finish. (6 x 75 cl)
This vineyard is located on a beautiful 300 hectare estate. It was documented in 1330 but it was not until 1847 that Count de Pescatore laid the cornerstone of the exquisite chateau overlooking the vines. Giscours' quality was confirmed by its inclusion as a third growth in the 1855 classification. The estate was purchased by Nicolas Tari after World War II and he made major investments in modernising Giscours. In 1995, Eric Albada Jelgersma acquired the right to grow vines and make wine on the estate. He continues to lavish the care and attention that are necessary to maintain Giscours' standing as a world-famous great growth. The 1996 is an open, fruity style with attractive, berry flavours, and is fine for drinking now and over the next decade. (12 x 75 cl)
