Haut Medoc de Giscours 2022 (750ML)

93 DE / 92-93 JS / 89-91 WA / 88-90 WI / 88-90 JD

Another delicious and great-value Haut-Médoc from the Giscours team. Perfumed and scented on the nose with liquorice and blackcurrants. Juicy and alive, supple and smooth on the palate. Lots of life and energy with a sleek, silky frame and such purity of expression. Crystalline, bright and so appealing. Very easy to drink with cool blue fruit touches, mouthwatering acidity and a minty, crushed stone freshness. A beautiful, delicate and finessed expression with such succulence and nuance. 3.70pH. A yield of 27hl/ha. Ageing 12 months, in barrels. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter

A firm and refined Haut-Medoc with linear and bright tannins, with precision and focus. Tannin driven. Fresh. Tight. Direct. - James Suckling

The 2022 Haut-Médoc de Giscours offers up aromas of dark berries, plums, petals and fresh mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, perfumed and fleshy palate that's concentrated and dynamic, framed by powdery tannins.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Haut-Medoc de Giscours is deep garnet-purple in color. It skips out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of black and red currants, fresh, juicy plums, and raspberry leaves, leading to suggestions of pencil shavings and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing, with delicate red and black berry flavors and a soft texture, finishing on a floral note. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

The 2022 Le Haut-Médoc De Giscours from this terrific estate has a pure, medium-bodied, nicely concentrated yet elegant profile with lots to love. The fruits lean toward the blue/black end of the spectrum, and it has some leafy, tobacco notes, fine tannins, and a good finish. I'd happily drink a bottle. - Jeb Dunnuck
