AOP - Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOC)
1961 Château Giscours 3e Cru Classé Margaux AOC, Château Giscours
Lovely sense of clarity and crispness here for the first time, with a really bright red fruit quality showing through. Some meaty and earthy notes, but also glimpses of a little Margaux perfume. Palate too is crisp, with cherry acidity keeping it quite crisp. Although not without breadth and a bit of spice and warmth, this is pretty lightweight stuff, without huge complexity or flesh on it.
