Rene Gabriel 19 points: "Kunz Fassprobe 2020: (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 13.5% vol. Alkohol) Dichtes, feines, mineralisches Bouquet, Erdbeergelee, Feuerstein, Balsaholz, fein Trüffel, Korinthen, Minze, fein Pralinen. Dichtverwobener, eleganter, frischer Gaumen mit vielfältiger, süsser Aromatik, viel feinem Tannin, cremiger, dichter Struktur, kräftiger, feiner Frucht, sehr langer, voller Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen."

Vinum 18.5 points: "zurückhaltende ausbauwürze; voller ansatz, geradezu stürmische entwicklung über lebhaftem tannin, sehr langer ausklang: grosszügiger, temperamentvoller giscours, der unbedingt reifen sollte." Drinking Window 2029 - 2040, Reviewed on 01.08.22 by Vinum
James Suckling 97 points: "A ripe and layered red with lots of currant and chocolate character, as well as some walnut and cocoa powder. Crushed stones, too. It’s full and layered with round tannins and a juicy and plush texture. Crushed velvet that turns to silk. Very cool and long. Plenty going on here. Give it three to four years to come together. But will age beautifully for years to come. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% merlot. Try after 2026." , Reviewed on 06.12.21 by James Suckling
The Wine Cellar Insider 96 points: "Freshness and purity is the hallmark of this wine. The intensity of the perfume, with all of its violets, lilacs, and roses, along with tobacco leaf, black and red fruits, wet earth, spice, and smoke are attention-grabbing. But I love the silky palate textures with all of its depth and richness, purity of fruity, vibrancy, and length. This is the best vintage produced in the long history of Chateau Giscours. It will age effortlessly for 2 -3 decades. Drink from 2026-2055." , Reviewed on 29.03.22 by The Wine Cellar Insider
Vinous Antonio Galloni 96 points: "The 2019 Giscours is every bit as compelling today as it was from barrel. Dark and sumptuous in feel, Giscours shows off its notable dimension and breadth. Succulent black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, menthol and licorice intensify as this gorgeous, beautifully layered Margaux builds with time in the glass. The 2019 is a big wine, but not quite as exuberant as the 2018. Tasted two times" Drinking Window 2029 - 2049, Reviewed on 24.02.22 by Antonio Galloni
Decanter 96 points: "Gorgeous floral aromatics, so perfumed and pretty, really leaping out the glass with an amazingly vibrant pink/purple colour too. Such an excellent delivery of flavour on the palate, you have shiny, bright fruit and well-expressed terroir with smooth and supportive tannins. It shows the heat of the vintage in the density and deep core of spice-edged red and black fruit but also has a juicy, bright acidity that underpins the fruit and keeps things refreshing. Full of elegance, precision and confidence - all the elements in harmony with consistency and persistence. A wonderful wine. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot."

Yves Beck 95 points: "65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot Viel Finesse im Bouquet von Giscours. Er offenbart sich langsam durch Düfte von roten Beeren, Lakritze und Kräutern. Am Gaumen zeichnet sich der Wein durch seine Finesse, seine Dichte und seine Frische aus. Er hat Charakter und ist temperamentvoll. Die Tannine sind straff, aber feinkörnig. Sie sichern das Rückgrat durch eine unvermutete Kraft, die stützend, aber nicht erschlagend ist. Gute Länge im Finale mit einem anhaltenden fruchtigen Nachklang . Ein Wein, der Zeit braucht. Ich habe selten einen Giscours mit so viel Kraft, Länge und Reifepotenzial verkostet. Der wird noch zulegen." Drinking Window 2027 - 2049, Reviewed on 02.12.21 by Yves Beck
Vinous Neal Martin 95 points: "The 2019 Giscours has been a little variable from bottle to bottle. This is definitely one of the better ones: more defined and mineral-driven than the '18, with blackberry, wild strawberry and cedar unfolding on the nose. The oak is neatly integrated. Very poised, the palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, lightly spiced with white pepper and Provençal herbs on the finish. This has a lot of potential."

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 points: "The 2019 Giscours has turned out very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, burning embers, lilac and violets framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's polished and perfumed, with a velvety, seamless profile and bright animating acids, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Alexandre Van Beek and his team are taking this estate to heights it hasn't hit since the 1970s, and this is another of the great bargains of the 2019 en primeur campaign."
