Sirene De Giscours 2021 (750ML)

92-93 JS / 90-92 VM / 90 DE

A fine-tannined second wine with currants, blueberries and some crushed stone and cedar. Medium body with redcurrants and crushed stones. Chewy, yet polished. Spicy at the end, with black pepper and cloves. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. - James Suckling

The 2021 La Sirène de Giscours is a pretty rich, dense second wine. Black cherry, leather, tobacco and deeply pitched spice notes lend notable presence. Rich, profound, layered and nuanced. The 2021 stands out for its strong aromatic presence, but it's also quite deep and elegant at the same time. The Cabernets are quite expressive in this tasting. The Sirène is a fabulous second wine. Tasted two times. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Sultry red fruit on the nose, so beguiling and perfumed, really so sweet and bright. Smooth and satiny, you get the texture from the tannins but so svelte. The red cherry and blackcurrant fruit has density and chew with a deep and serious centre. Lovely mid-palate, liquorice elements are sweet and chewy alongside eucalyptus with soft toasted spiced edges of clove, cinnamon and cedar. Lovely character with definition and precision but this is a little closed and a bit serious and tight. The Haut-Médoc just outshining this at the moment in terms of approachability but this has the complexity and nuance to go the long haul. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter
