Château Malescasse Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc 2022

"The 2022 Malescasse is an especially strong performance, offering up aromas of plums, cassis, licorice and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless palate that's velvety but vibrant. From holdings on the edge of the plateau of Grands Poujeaux, this estate's proprietor replanted fully half of its vineyards upon acquiring it, and that investment is now paying dividends."
90-91+/100 Punkte

"This is crunchy and floral with crushed-berry character. Medium-bodied. The tannins are firm but lively and vibrant. Juicy finish. Orange peel."
92-93/100 Punkte

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart floral, reife Zwetschken, etwas Brombeerkonfit und Tabak. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, gute Frische, balanciert und anhaftend, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, gute Länge, zeigt Potenzial."
92/100 Punkte

"The 2022 Malescasse has an attractive tobacco and cigar box scented nose, classic in style and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well judged acidity, gentle grip with a composed and persistent off-dry finish. Promising."
