"This firm wine shows the tannic side of the vintage. Those tannins are dusty, enriched with black-currant fruits and a dense backdrop. The wine is concentrated and elegant, very ageworthy and not likely to be ready before 2025." —Wine Enthusiast
"This is holding very well after 10 years now. Plush but discreet and pretty complete now, with complexity from many aspects. Deep, savory cassis, tobacco and berries, with a touch of citrus, graphite and roasted spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with ripe juicy fruit. The mid-palate is still dense, with fine-grained tannins that are still tight-wound in a long finish. Obviously a very good year for Giscours. A blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 5% petit verdot." —James Suckling
"The 2015 Giscours has a well-defined nose with vibrant red berry fruit, violet, iris flower and hints of camphor developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, yet this is finely chiseled with wonderful tension toward the persistent and precise finish. This is excellent and it aligns with the impressive showing in October 2024. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners." —Vinous
