    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Malescot St Exupery is another Chateau right on top of their game. Perhaps not as massive as the 2009, this is still hugely impressive, flashy, stylish, velvety and vibrant. The bouquet is perfumed with hints of flowers, minerals and complex earthy notes. The palate is a veritable fruit bomb. A mass of cherries, strawberries, cool summer fruits; very svelte and un-forced. The finish is fruit, fruit and more fruit over delightfully refined tannins. A very impressive and seductive Malescot.

    Enjoyable, richly textured, this is open and at the start of its drinking window, attractive depth through the mid palate, a little overly smoked that threatens the balance on the finish, but there is a lot to enjoy here with graphite, crayon and liquorice root set against damson fruits - and the rich texture that comes into focus after a good 30 minutes in the glass suggests that it will develop further over the next decade or so. 80% new oak.

    Good deep ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur, flowers and cedary cigar box. A sweet, dense midweight with penetrating red cherry and floral flavors accented by sound acidity. Nothing thick or heavy about this wine but it possesses plenty of chewy depth. Boasts excellent early balance but has the firm, sweet tannins and finishing bite and length for at least a couple decades of positive evolution in bottle.
