The 2014 Giscours has come on leaps and bounds since I tasted it twice in barrel. It is clearly more sophisticated and complex than the du Tertre on the nose. For a start, there is more fruit concentration with red cherries, raspberry and blackcurrant laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with a precise finish that the property never used to be able to offer. This is a lovely Margaux that should drink well for 20 years.

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot. Harvested 22 September to 16 October. Garnet hue. Dark-fruit nose. Depth and balance, the tannins ripe and integrated. Good length. Harmonious and ‘classic’ in weight and frame. An under-the-radar success in this vintage.
