Château Giscours
La Sirène de Giscours Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Dark red. Inviting nose and medium full palate of black cranberry, cassis, and red plum. Juicy (medium plus) acidity from entry to medium long, palate continuing finish. Medium tannins that assert more as time and air pass. An excellent vintage of an excellent second label Margaux from Giscours. Consumate food wine that's upscale enough for filet mignon but priced for burgers off the grill, and will complement everything in between. Drink now through 2036.

This is a delicious second wine from this Chateau.
Full bodied with medium acidity and dry on the palate with a great nose.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cigar box, tobacco leaf, graphite, light bell pepper, peppercorn, earth and sweet black tea.
A beautiful wine from a great vintage. Very enjoyable with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Decanter gave it 86 points. I think they missed it this time.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show the complexity. It's definitely worth the wait.
Feels like a Napa Bordeaux blend right out of the bottle, but then it changes as it opens up.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$60.

With Boeuf Bourguignon and a platter of cheese from the mountains. La Sirène is always excellent: all the Margaux characteristics in a simple, easy to drink package.

Cab heavy - a hint of vegetation on opening, tart cranberries, tannic, with a little eucalyptus at the finish.
