Rated 88/100 by Neal Martin after bottling « It has a perfumed bouquet with pressed rose petals and brown spices infusing the red berry fruit, perhaps a little more savory than its Margaux peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a splash of balsamic on the entry. » (February 2020)
Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni after bottling « This is an especially elegant vintage for a property that often leans towards a wilder style. The 2017 is one of the prettiest recent Tertres I can remember tasting » (March 2020)

Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « This is a classically styled Giscours, off-dry, a little reserved at first with a moderate spiciness coming through on the finish. It feels pinched at the moment and requires four to six years in bottle. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 93/100 by Antonio Galloni « Medium in body, with terrific freshness and energy, the 2017 shows very well today. [...] I can't wait to see how the 2017 ages given its vibrancy and terrific sense of harmony. » (March 2020)
Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Jolie entrée en bouche savoureuse et le vin se développe très bien construit, savoureux, nuancé et noble dans son grain de tanin. Bonne longueur. » (Oct. 2020)
