The nose is refined and layered, with notes of blackcurrant, ripe plum, violets, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, all hallmark aromas of a well-made Margaux.\n\nOn the palate, it is expected to be medium- to full-bodied, with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a poised balance between dark fruit, floral lift, and savory oak notes. The finish should be long and elegant, with the structure to age gracefully for many years, developing greater complexity and tertiary nuances over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiscours is located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, where gravelly soils and an Atlantic-influenced climate provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blends.
