    Château Malescot St Exupery, 3ème Cru Classé, Margaux, 2010

    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.

    Soft through the mid palate, this majors on raspberry and red cherry fruits, along with lemongrass and underripe plum notes also, struggles to really get going and the acidity is a little high, although the attractive gunsmoke and grilled oak helps round things out. Harvest September 30 to October 20. An enjoyable wine in the vintage from owner Jean-Luc Zuger. Michel Rolland consultant

    Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Malescot Saint Exupery gives up cedar chest and red currant jelly scents with touches of bay leaves and mossy tree bark. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is subtle and uncomplicated with a chewy finish.

    The 2021 Malescot Saint Exupéry, aged in 60% new oak, has a tightly would bouquet with blackberry, cedar and crushed violet scents. It takes a few swirls of the glass to really get into gear. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, maybe a little chewy compared to its stablemate, Labégorce, with a marine-influenced finish that, as I mentioned out of barrel, feels a little abrupt. NB A second bottle has a little more energy.
