I thought Giscours was returning to the form it displayed in the mid to late seventies, but after tasting the 1994 and 1995 offerings I am not sure. This year, the 1994 was revealing an open-knit, disjointed, soft, fleshy character without the depth I had anticipated. This spicy, commercially-oriented wine will provide uncomplicated, straightforward drinking for the next 10-12 years. All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux.
