More generous than expected, with a fair amount of rich dark fruit and roasted character. From magnum.

Young Bordeaux, love the purity of the fruit, just starting to bloom. Underrated vintage, good bargain.

CNY day 2 at Manjie. Ferrous nose. Medium body. Short-ish finish that’s slightly bitter.
“Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical, the 2006 Château Giscours is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot picked between September 21 and October 9. It has been several years since I last tasted this vintage and the aromatics have evolved well, now offering quite plush redcurrant, strawberry and ferrous scents that are nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, savory in the mouth with dried blood, rosemary and sage notes towards the finish. I like the depth here, the cohesion and length. It might not be the most flamboyant recent Giscours, however in the context of the vintage, this is certainly a commendable wine that is beginning to deliver on its promise. Tasted June 2015.” RP90
