First sip after opening was incredibly watery and light.

Took about 3 hours to open up and show. And then it was exactly as expected with great depth and fruit. Solid backbone and balance.

Nose: pepper, raspberry, cherry, light fragrant wood, orange peel, slight clove.

Taste: simple, but elegant and well made. Medium weight. Bitter olive, restrained tannins that linger and turn into green herbs (oregano? And others). Restrained sweet vanilla (almost like banana). The red fruit is in the background. This is good. 90.

Needs two hours to decant to open up. Full bodied and rich. Perfect with steak. Another Mr Duffy delicious bottle. — 22 days ago

Tight at first but the wine opened up quickly and gloriously! Tar and graphite on the palette to complement forest floor on the nose. This vintage continues to be a winner! — 7 days ago

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. — 5 days ago

Still lots of tannin. Decant and leave for an hour or so. — 2 days ago

Brownish red. Surprisingly light bodied.. Blackcurrant, plum, cloves, liquorice. Medium tannins giving it some structure. — 13 days ago

One of the great vintages for Palmer only exceeded by their 61 that is elegant, silky showing power with notes of black, red fruits, plum, graphite, leather, spice & tobacco .Just starting to hit its stride with decades ahead — 7 days ago

Silky smoothy on the front half with medium tannins on the finish. Earth tones throughout and went well with our mushroom appetizer. For those of you who haven’t tried it - go to Bird & Jim restaurant in Estes Park. Great wine list and food. — 21 days ago

We enjoyed this from Margaux. It was very smooth and paired well with our Italian food. #Ilteatroquebeccity — 3 days ago
