Château de Malengin
Montagne-St. Émilion Merlot Blend
Montagne-St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Very fruit forward for a Bordeaux. On the nose a lot of ripe red fruit. On the palate some spice but mainly fruit and lack of earth with that I look for in a Bordeaux especially an '09. Not bad just unexpected.

A little chalky. Very bright. 2010. Not extraordinary for St Emiliom.

Aromas of plums, vanilla and brown sugar. Flavors of blackberry, dark cherries and oak. Silky smooth and lush. Finishes spicy and hot with tannin. Just very well balanced.

Nice, by the glass. New world styled St. Emilion meant to sell in the West. Decent though, despite its fruit forward lack of typicity.

Very fruity Bordeaux, not at all a typical Saint - Emillion. Even a kind of "corked" flavor.

Spicy, earth notes, dark fruits, long finish with strong tannins. Needs more time to mature.
