Blending 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petite Verdot, this started off life as a more powerful-than-average Margaux. But time has worked it's magic here (the Wine Advocate note is from 2020), and now it's very much Margaux, stylish, pure and perfumed.
"Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Malescot St. Exupery wafts gracefully out of the glass with scents of potpourri, raspberry coulis and kirsch over a cassis and warm plums core with a touch of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy red and black fruits, sporting a firm, fine-grained texture and oodles of freshness. It has a good, long and remarkably pure finish. Drink 2020-2050 (tasted March 2020)"
"This delivers a slightly chewy-edged feel, with charcoal and roasted alder hints holding sway over the core of steeped damson plum, black currant and anise notes. Shows grip through the finish, but stays long, featuring a lovely backdrop of tar and warm stone. The excellent range and drive should pay off in the cellar."
