Tasting Notes
A disappointment for Medoc in this vintage, the 1996 Giscours has an evolved plum color with some pink at the rim. The wine is soft, shows some herbaceously tinged berry fruit, hints of licorice and black currants, but not much depth or texture. Obviously, little selection was employed at Giscours when putting together the final blend for 1996. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted, 3/02.(Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition Jan 2003)
