WEINWISSER: "Tiefes, dichtes Purpur. Würziges Red-Currant-Bouquet, Johannisbeeren, ein Hauch Tabak, Eisenkrauttouch, minzige Spuren. Stoffiger Gaumen, sehr dicht, trotz der Konzentration sehr, sehr elegant bleibend, parfümiert wirkend, Maulbeeren, Damassinepflaumen, eine burgundische Musigny-Affinität zeigend. Der 2003er Giscours gehört zu den besten des Jahrgangs."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is full and powerful, with loads of fruit and a tropical undertone of berries and mango. Loads of tannins in this big wine, but still very fresh. This needs more time than the 2000. Give it five years. Pull the cork in 2015."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 91 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Light ruby in color, smoke, truffle, earth, cigar box, fennel and jammy black cherry scents create the complex aromatics. Medium bodied, silky, sexy and filled with black raspberry and spice. This is not a wine that requires more age. I’d drink this over the next 6 to 9 years. The wine was made using a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Aromas of blackberry, black olives and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Refined and nicely done. Best after 2010. 21,665 cases made."
