Characteristics and tasting tips for La Sirène de Giscours 2016
Tasting
Nose
Aromas of black plums combine harmoniously with notes of incense and perfectly integrated oak.
Palate
Fine tannins, aromas of black fruit and soy, and a superbly structured, beautifully saline finish.
James Suckling: 92 Points
A fresh and linear red with crushed stones, menthol and dark berries and plums. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a linear finish. Second wine of Giscours. Drink in 2023.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2016 La Sirene de Giscours is a very pretty second wine from Giscours. Pliant, supple and inviting, the 2016 has so much to offer, including a level of pure immediacy that will make it nearly impossible to resist. Floral overtones and silky tennins add to the wine's considerable allure. There is so much to like here.
Wine Advocate: 87 Points
The 2016 La Sirene de Giscours is medium garnet-purple in color with a nose of tar, earth and fried herbs with vague plums notions. The medium-bodied palate is firm, chewy and bitter.
