Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical and a few months later again at the property, the 2012 Château Giscours is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc picked between September 27 and October 17. It has a rather conservative nose with raspberry, fresh strawberry, tobacco and light licorice scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple black fruit, but with slightly aggressive acidity. Like the 2013, though to a lesser extent, it needs to show a little more concentration and finesse on the finish; but otherwise, enjoy this over the next decade or so. Tasted March 2016.

The 2012 Giscours is a wine that did not perform well at the Southwold Ten-Year-On blind tastings. Two years later, the nose is attractive with raspberry, cedar and light sous-bois scents, although it does miss some intensity. The palate is rather sharp on the entry and does not have the elegance of the previous vintage. As I commented before, the 2012 misses some substance on the finish compared to other vintages
