NOSE: Crayola, cranberry, a flower I can’t quite place, meat, iron, blood orange, raspberry. All light and receded … but color me intrigued!
TASTE: lovely lightweight Bordeaux - red fruit and floral flavors are muted but pleasant and elegantly “integrated.” “Feminine” is the right word. I love it! 91. — 6 months ago
on a Bordeaux kick lately. 06 Cru Bourgeois. very mature at this point, nose is heavy on pencil shavings and tobacco leaf. palate is the same, very tertiary flavor profile. fruit is very muted at this point. it’s nothing particularly special other than a classic mature bordeaux. — 10 months ago

Excellent 2009 bordeaux — 9 years ago
Appearance: clear clarity, medium intensity, garnet. Nose: clean condition, medium intensity, aroma - cigar, black berry, fruitcake, stewed prune. Palate: dry, high acidity, medium (+) chalky tannin, flavour - dark cherry, chocolate, smoky, long finish. Conclusion, very good and approachable cab-sauv, great value for its price tag ($33), alcohol and flavour greatly integrated. — 11 years ago
2020 vintage. Big, darkly-fruited nose that rolls over to the flavors. Medium body. Great complexity for initial and mid-palates, Finish is where things drop off a cliff. Solid banger for the price. If only some of that impressive, frontal assault could be transferred to the back end, we'd be in clover. Nice, first-time BDX to get the palate rolling/draw people in tho. 3.15.24. — 2 months ago

1961. Wine older than me. Lots of cedar box and cigar. Tannin completely resolved. Lots of tertiary aromas and flavor. Can’t believe after all these years....still going strong. At Bern’s in Tampa. Page 85 of the 180 page wine list. More like a wine book. — 7 years ago

Old lady holding her own very well. Mellowed but still lovely. — 2 months ago
An Haut-Medoc made by Château Giscours. This is quite nice in a rich, early-drinking style. Nose opens up within 60 minutes to show dark cherry fruit, cedar, and low-toned stony gravel. The palate is mouthfilling and soft, with ripe dark plummy fruit and earthy, savory notes. The finish is clingy with a nice bitter note growing at the close. Nicely done and a good value. — 4 months ago
Deep ruby-garnet color.
Aromas of tomato leaf, earth, leather.
Dry. Flavors of dried cherry, tomato leaf, cinnamon, leather. Rich, firm tannins. Wow! Excellent depth!
