Classification: Second Wine of Château Giscours (3ème Grand Cru Classé)
Critic Score: JS 92, VN 90

Tasting Notes: The second wine of Château Giscours, a Margaux Third Growth, shows impressive depth for its price. Aromas of dark plum, blackberry and cedar. The palate is round and generous with ripe tannins, dark fruit and a long, spiced finish. The 2016 vintage adds extra structure and aging potential.

Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, beef stew, duck confit, hard cheeses.
