2018 vintage. Second wine of Cru Classé Malescot Saint-Exupéry. Charming nose with ripe black cherries, raspberry jam and some floral hints. This medium-bodied, fruit-driven Margaux is drinking well already with silky tannin and good length. Not very complex, but a very charming wine indeed. Abv. 14%. Good value at less than half the price of the Grand Vin, even if I would rate the less expensive La Tour de Bessan (tasted alongside) higher. — 8 days ago
Smooth with no unpleasant aftertaste. Light but complex. — a month ago
Love it! Not a super long finish, but full of berries, baking spice, tobacco leaves (for sweetness), and cedar on the nose. — a month ago
Super pleasant with large fruit body of kiwi and strawberry. Dry with good chalk notes. — a month ago
Apricot, peach, honey, a little thicker and sweeter than the best Sauternes but still lively and delicious. — a month ago
So gorgeous, incredible QPR. Perfumed and layered with impeccable clarity and purity. Grilled black fruit, crushed flowers, resinous herbs, olives, black tea, pastilles, warm earth. There’s a seamless mouth feel here with enough edges to add intrigue. — a month ago
