| Description: | <p class="MsoNormal">(97 JS) A seductive Margaux with an intense nose of black fruit and red plums. Some herb and wood notes, too. It's full-bodied with pretty, pure-berry flavors with some crushed stones and cement. The texture is silky and fine-grained and the tannins melt into the wine. Precise, flavorful finish with length. Try after 2024.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">(96 JD)<b> </b>Tasted twice and showing incredibly well both times, the 2018 Chateau Malescot Saint-Exupery comes from a 28-hectare vineyard in the heart of Margaux and is a rough blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This full-bodied Margaux has everything you could want from this appellation, offering incredibly complex notes of cassis, tobacco, earth, and spice, full body, sweet tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It's an incredibly sexy, flawlessly balanced beauty that's going to be relatively approachable in its youth yet age effortlessly on its balance and purity. <o:p></o:p></p> |
