Note di degustazione
Coming from a mix of parcels not far from Angélus, the 2010 Vieux Château Mazerat is showing beautifully today, with a gorgeous complexity in its red, blue, and black fruits as well as saddle leather, spicy herbs, tobacco, and sandalwood. This carries to a full-bodied Saint-Emilion offering ripe, polished tannins, a great mouthfeel, and outstanding length. Based on 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Drink 2025-2045.

Sweet and luscious start. Very dramatic and flattering. Quite long. Better than many of its peers. But just a tad hollow. (JR)
This is one of the tightest, most backward wines in the Jonathan Malthus portfolio. The grapes come from an old-vine parcel near Angelus and Beausejour-Duffau, and the final product is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. Again displaying plenty of minerality, which seems to be a prevailing theme throughout the 2010s from Malthus, the 2010 Vieux Chateau Mazerat is full-bodied, with an abundance of floral notes as well as black currant and blackberry fruit. Impressively endowed and built like a skyscraper, this full-bodied wine needs a good 7-8 years of cellaring and should keep for 25-30 years. Interestingly, the vines were planted in 1947.
Vieux Chateau Mazerat 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, the Cabernet Franc is from vines planted in 1947, the wine reached 14.3% alcohol in this vintage.
