1962 Giscours

Tasting notes
Like the 1966 and 1967, this wine is past its prime. However, the bouquet still exhibits spicy, floral-scented, ripe fruit. In the mouth, the wine lacks the plump, rich fruity character of other Giscours, and tails off in the finish. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 1/81.
