Oak juice. Vanillin essence and crème patissière with cassis. Could turn out OK if fruit lasts the course. The vanillin does stay well on the finish. Rating: 88 L&S (Apr 2014)

Bright ruby-red. Enticing aromas of minty redcurrant, blueberry, cedar and graphite. Juicy and fresh in the mouth, with red and dark berry flavors lifted by harmonious acidity. Finishes with slightly peppery, youthful tannins and a lingering violet note. Rating: 88-91 Ian d'Agata - Stephen Tanzer website (May 2014)
Black fruited on the nose the fruit mix if fresh and the palate has a mix of bramble and bilberry. It fills out in the middle with sweeter richer fruit and although lighter at the back there is a richer feel to the finish. 2020-30 Rating: 88-92 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (May 2014)

Château Giscours
Margaux Troisième cru 1855 Château Giscours has had many owners over the years since Pierre de Lhomme bought "Guyscoutz" in 1552 and laid out an estate and vineyards. The present château was built in 1847 by Count de Pescatore. Like many Bordelais estates, Giscours was in poor condition after World War II, but its fortunes were rescued by Nicolas Tari who bought the property in 1954 and set about restoring and enlarging Giscours. In 1995, Giscours' business activities were purchased by Eric Albada Jelgersma, the owner of near-by Château du Tertre. The 83ha of vineyard are 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The Grand Vin spends 15 to 18 months in wood (50% new). Château Giscours is home to the Bordeaux Giscours Cricket Club - the national champions!
