WEINWISSER: „Leuchtendes Rubin-Granat. Verführerisches Bouquet, Johannisbeeren, Veilchen, Himbeeren, ein zarter Hauch Eukalyptus, die Frische unterstreichend. Saftiger, eleganter Gaumen, reife Säure, wieder viel rotbeerige Frucht, seidig und zart die Gerbstoffe, das Finale burgundisch und sehr lang, allerdings eher etwas leicht ausgefallen, somit eher mit einem zarten Richebourg zu vergleichen.“

WINE ENTHUSIAST: „After initial tastings suggested there was too much tannin, the wine has undergone a welcome transformation. It has become powerful and ripe, deliciously sumptuous, allying the tannins with densely ripe, sweet black fruits. It keeps its sense of balance, but all this density gives aging potential."

DECANTER: „Well constructed, with good expression and integration. Lacking some of the effortless class of the best years here, but there are lashings of firm black fruits and hints of patisserie from oak ageing. Displays good Margaux elegance, with just the right amount of 2006 austerity. Tannins are resolving themselves after a number of tough years, and still have a way to go.“

WINE SPECTATOR: „Crushed blackberry, with hints of rose and lightly stewed fruits. Full-bodied, with a beautiful core of fruit and velvety tannins. The finish is long and beautiful. This is beautifully crafted. Best after 2013.“

THE WINE ADVOCATE: „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.“
