Description: | 97 JS / 96 Wci / 95+ Vm / 95 Ws / 94+ Wa. Some very rich and ripe red and dark berries here make for an impressive, engaging nose that has charming violet undertones. The palate is velvety and supple, while super smooth tannins deliver a long and plush, plum-soaked finish. Great wine and already drinking well. Try from 2023. James Suckling. Elegance meshed with power is at the core of this gem. Full-bodied, with polished blackberries, black cherries, smoke, licorice, and flower notes are all over the place. Lush and refined, long and intense, with a sensuous endnote, this is a fabulous vintage for Malescot. Drink from 2022-2050.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider. One of the highlights of the vintage, the 2015 Malescot Saint ExupĂ©ry is superb. Grilled herbs, smoke, black cherry, lavender, menthol and graphite literally explode from this glass. Huge swaths of tannin give the wine its shape and big, ample frame. Iron, smoke, graphite, grilled herbs and licorice punctuate the huge, powerful finish. Readers should be in no rush to open the 2015, as it is likely to require at least a handful of years to become approachable. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Lovely steeped plum, fig and blackberry fruit is melded thoroughly with notes of alder, lilac and warm tar, giving this both treble and bass, while velvety tannins carry the finish with ease. Offers a long sanguine detail through the finish. Best from 2022 through 2040. 8,871 cases made. James Molesworth, Wine Spectator. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Malescot St. Exupery is scented of chocolate-covered cherries, cassis and red plums with touches of earth and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied with ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of expressive fruit, it finishes long and pure. Lisa Perotti Brown, Wine Advocate. Lots of natural concentration and real elegance – the high percentage of Cabernet shows well with both grip and charm. Very good in Malescot's individual style. - Jane Anson, Decanter |
