LA SIRENE DE GISCOURS 2nd Wine of Chateau Giscours Margaux 2023 Wooden Case x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

THE WINE ADVOCATE (89-91)
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2023 La Sirène de Giscours opens in the glass with aromas of wild berries, baking chocolate, spice and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's suave and seamless, with good depth at the core of sweet, powdery structuring tannins. It's a strong effort.

JAMES SUCKLING **** 93-94 Points
18 Apr, 2024 – A bright red with blackcurrant, crushed-stone and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Fine at the end. Juicy and fluid in the center-palate, in a good way. A blend of 64% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 12% petit verdot.

Lovely floral elements on the nose. Raspberries, red cherries and some plum notes with touches of rose. Smooth and supple, a good energy and movement. Nice brightness with stoniness, graphite and liquorice. Juicy, high acidity with crunchy and crisp fruit. I love the balance of acidity and tannins, really smooth with a hint of grip. Well worked, not massively complex but really well made with such charm and easy-drinking appeal. Great precision too. Clearly finessed. 3.76ph. No Cabernet Franc in the blend this year. 26% second wine.
