Vintage 2012

The 2012 Bordeaux vintage report.

Written Notes

Underbar karaktärsfull och djup textur, definitivt en av de rikaste Margauxvinerna för årgången. Möjligen aningen mindre raffinerade än några av de andra. Harmoniska tanniner, inte en antydan av animaliska drag som historiskt brukar upptäckas hos slottet. En perfekt Giscours.
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is and looking clear and light. On the nose it is intense, youthful, complex, refined, seductive, charming and pure. The taste is fragrant, with high tannin ., with drying tannins, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, youthful and the palate is modest. On the palate it is layered and has coffee, blackcurrant, new-oak, mineral and spice flavours. This wine is transparent, sophisticated and wine for food. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 1t before tasting.
