The mouthfeel is elegant, as sweet vanilla cream permeates the black berry fruit. Pleasant acidity balances soft tannins and delicate, sweet-oak smoke as this textbook Giscours finishes medium long. I found this wine to be the best among the Margaux offered by the Union des Grands Crus. 115 Gloria Saint Julien 39.99 24.99 Medium-dark ruby in color, this wine presents a full nose of black cherry, plum and currant. On the palate, there is good fruit, braced by firm, medium-grain tannins.
Sweet currant dominates the moderate finish.
The color is brilliant, dark ruby with a nose of black currant laced with an apple citrus aroma. On the palate rich cassis and black cherry marry well with sweeet chocolate notes. The fine tannins give excellent balance to the long, fat finish. The palate is complex, as layers of rich, dark plum and cherry fruit unfold in the mouth. Nuances of tar and eucalyptus follow in the middle.
