Château Malescot St. Exupéry
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2nd Ribcap wine. Delicious!
2006 followed the grand 2005 vintage. It was overpriced based on 2005 & critically reviewed as a difficult vintage. I can tell you 06 was overpriced, but still a good to very good vintage depending on the region & producer.
The fruits are classic Bordeaux…nicely ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, very dark cherries, black plum, plum, mix of strawberries & red cherries. Wet, volcanic clay, lead pencil for days, slightly, dry tobacco, dark spices, mix of mostly dry & fresh herbs, clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon & vanillin, volcanic ash, used leather, sandalwood to cedar, forest floor w/ dry leaves, dry river stone, steeped, dark fruit tea, withering, slightly candied; dark, red florals with hints of violets, round, fresh, river stream acidy, a plush, round, elegant, nicely; tensioned, structured, balanced and elegant polished finish that last 90 seconds.

We had the 2006 Vintage on 7/27-28/24. A nice Old World, medium to full bodied wine with a long finish. Scents and a palate of blackberry, black cherry, plum, graphite and camphor. The tannins were fine and smoothed out with aeration. A very good wine.

Splendid! Completely matured. 30 min, woke up! That helped me, since the bottle keeper forgot to open the bottle before… Black currant. Concentration and elegancy are well balanced. Mid + body. Complexity but very smooth and gentle. 2006 @2660, xiaduo - Lazo, 220318-220323

We had the 2006 Vintage on 12/18-19/20. The bouquet has red fruit and violet. Very floral. Black cherry, leather, and oak on the palate. An Old World wine that has a nice mix of fruit and earthiness.

Nov 24th, 2019A little too early to have 2006 in 2017. Green peppers and flowers and fruit. Harsh but fading tannins, opens after 15min in a glass

Sep 14th, 2017вино с очень приятным нежным ароматом джемовых ягод и специй поверх прятного тона подлеска; танины слегка резковаты, но вполне сформировались; кислотность средняя, сглажена созреванием; послевкусие выше среднего по продолжительности
