Château Giscours

Dom Ferraz

Bairrada Reserva Red Blend 1975

How a 41 year old wine can still be this tannic is beyond me. I thought the '75 Giscours I had last week was thick but this is just ridiculous. On tannin alone I would have called it a 2 y.o. old school Bordeaux. The colour was opaque but there was a hint of a watery edge and a bit of cherry red seeping out of the black depths around the edge. Nose was dense but showed sings of age; a bit stewed and a hint of farmyard - becoming slightly unknit. On the palate it was just tannin x10, with reasonable acidity and moderate body. My score is probably a little on the high side but it was a very interesting wine to taste! — 8 years ago

Stonestreet Winery

Legacy Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

Really enjoyed this. Still a lot of fruit but perfectly aged and integrated making all the herbs and flowers and just a bit of forest work perfectly together. This was a nice second bottle after the Giscours to go with a beautiful steak dinner. — 11 years ago
