The 2020 Malescot Saint Exupéry is absolutely gorgeous. Deep and silky (that is not a typo) Malescot shows a level of finesse that is truly remarkable. There is still plenty of textural intensity, but also greater elegance than in the recent past. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, incense and blood orange all run through this wonderfully sumptuous, expressive Margaux. Give this a few years in bottle. Superb. 12/2022

The 2020 Malescot St. Exupery has a beguiling bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry, blueberry and iodine - très Margaux. Lovely delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, slightly chalky tannins, licorice-tinged red fruit, quite structured and almost muscular towards the finish - a long-term Margaux that will repay cellaring. You can already feel this tightening up. Excellent. Tasted twice with consistent notes. 12/2022

Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Malescot St. Exupery prances out of the glass with showy scents of ripe black and red currants, black cherries, raspberry leaves and ground cloves, plus wafts of lilacs and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black and red fruit layers with a firm, grainy texture and well-balanced acidity, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note. 05/2021

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez moyennement intense, au fruité très mûr et même crémeux. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, avec une texture minutieuse et beaucoup de fruits, le vin glisse sur le palais savoureux, aromatique, sur une bonne longueur sans angle.

Lots of blackcurrants and blueberries on the nose, together with walnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied and very layered, with super depth and plushness, offering currant, crushed-stone and bitter-chocolate flavors. Very lush for this wine, but velvety and structured at the same time. Needs four to six years of bottle age. Try after 2027. 11/2023
