Note di degustazione
The 2016 Malescot Saint-Exupéry has a refined bouquet with blackberry and bilberry fruit, well defined with neatly integrated oak, though there is a little brettanomyces that emerges in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, not powerful but fresh and classic in style, with a touch of sour cherry and tobacco on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Interesting, layered nose. Opulent and sweet. A bit like candied leather: sweet and tannic. Rather awkward tannins. (JR)
The ruby/plum-colored 2016 Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry comes from vines in the heart of the Margaux appellation and is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It’s a total rock star of wine and has fabulous notes of crème de cassis, barbecue smoke, graphite, and sandalwood that build beautifully with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, layered, and seamless, it’s incredibly impressive and I’d wager up with the finest vintages ever from this estate. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following 20-25. Bravo!
