2020 Sirène de Giscours

93 POINTS

James Suckling

Black cherry and berry character with plenty of cedar and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full and rather juicy with a solid backbone of tannins. Flavorful finish. Give it three or four years to soften and open. Muscular second wine. Try after 2025.

A second wine with a spread of polished tannins that go across the palate and show polish and beauty. It’s medium-to full-bodied with gorgeous fruit and a long, flavorful finish, Impressive. 70% cabernet sauvignon, 15% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 5% petit verdot.

The 2020 La Sirene de Giscours is a gorgeous second wine. Bright and deep, with tons of drive the 2020 is seriously impressive. Dark cherry, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and dark spice build effortlessly, driven by bright acids and tons of nervous energy. The balance here is simply impeccable.

Jane Anson - Decanter

An excellent Sirène, with grip and salinity yet feels approachable, sinking into a compote of blackberry and blueberry fruits, with a carefully constructed tannic frame. And a lovely glass staining colour, small berries lots of skins and juice, great stuff, a real step up. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend.

The 2020 La Sirène de Giscours is a very pretty, compelling wine. Cabernet aromatics are so pronounced in the 2020. Wild flowers, mint, sage, pine and new leather meld into a core of supple red berry fruit. This silky, engaging Margaux has a ton to offer.
