Michael Schuster: Dense and minerally to smell, with just a touch of Cabernet Franc herbaceousness/spice/cedar; a refined middleweight wine, fresh, moderately concentrated, and with very refined tannins; sweetly ripe, nicely padded, very graceful in style, subtly complex, and with first-rate length. A sweetly stylish and very Margaux Giscours. 2018–30. 16/16.5+

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Wonderful vinosity and depth of texture, definitely the richest of the Margaux wines presented for tasting but possibly a bit less refined than some of the others. Harmonious tannins—not a hint of the animal notes sometimes detected in the past—and a great future. A perfect Giscours. 18
