This is the second wine of Ch.Giscours and is normally a very good buy and quality price ratio. 2003 is a hot and big year in Bordeaux. The wine, normally obtainable for around 15 € in France, is in my experience not far off the same quality as the Ch Giscours itself. It is certainly more approachable in the early years.
Beautiful aromas of black fruit, cedar and new oak. Lovely well balanced taste, although I must admit that I find some of the new Bordeaux hot years (2003, 2005 and 2009) slightly "cooked", a bit like the Californian wines.
Parker loves these vintages and are expensive due to his high scores. I am not sure these wines are actually the best wines in terms quality price ratio due to their high prices.
Sirene de Giscours 2003, 15€, a good second wine from Bordeaux
