Avis d'expert

88 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(6-1996)
The 1970 Giscours continues to offer a large-scaled, spicy, licorice, earth, cedar, curranty, and leathery nose backed-up by muscular, full-bodied, tannic flavors. This fully mature, fleshy, distinctive wine is unlikely to ever completely shed its tannin, but there is good size, fine ripeness, and an overall sense of balance. It is one of the better efforts from Giscours.

Wine Spectator

(5-1993)
Deep ruby-garnet; tarry nose, with cassis and black truffle accents; firm, fruity and round, yet lacking richness.
