2021, Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry, MARGAUX, 3éme Grand Cru ClasséBordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. The 2021 Malescot St. Exupery is a terrific effort, offering up aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with notions of liquorice, espresso roast and toasty oak. Medium to full bodied, ample and fleshy, it's impressively layered, with a sweet core of fruit, ripe tannins and lively acids. The dramatic style of the chteau has worked very well with the cooler, later maturing
