1994 Giscours - Margaux, Bordeaux, France

1994 Giscours : after 3 hours of decanting the wine appeares to be much nicer now. Flowery and red fruits on the nose. The wine's structure is pretty straight forward with more tannin than fruit. Slightly acidic at the end. Pleasant but not very exciting. Will probably mature in 2005 - 2008. 84/100 

1999 Giscours - Margaux, Bordeaux, France

1999 Giscours : nice purple colour, but not as dense as I expected from such a young wine. The nose of 1999 Giscours is quite complex, dominated by blackcurrant and coffee. Concentrated with silky tannins. An elegant and modern wine with gobs of fruit. 88/100
