Note di degustazione
The 2019 Malescot St. Exupéry has a more exotic bouquet than its peers, with black plum, cassis and light violet aromas bursting from the glass. Extrovert. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fleshy and nubile, quite succulent with cassis and blue fruit towards the slightly herbaceous finish. I feel that this bottle needs more time to show the potential it has displayed previously, hence the plus-mark against my score. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Rich and well balanced, even if quite evolved. Lots of early pleasure with some fruit density and a tannic charge that became more evident in the glass. Good wine! (JR)
Intense black fruit with sharp acid and hard tannins. For Margaux, this is positively unshaven. Hard, sour style. Is that just youthfulness? (RH)
The 2019 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry has an almost old-school vibe in its cedary, herbal, meaty, almost gamey aromatics, but it has beautiful purity in its both black and blue fruits. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate, it's nicely concentrated, has building tannins, good mid-palate density, and a great finish. I don't think it matches the 2016 and 2018, but it's a seriously good Margaux that already offers pleasure. It won't hit maturity for another 7-8 years but should have a lengthy drinking plateau.
