Château Malescot-Saint-Exupéry 3. Cru Classé Margaux 2021

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Brombeerkonfit, zart nach schwarzen Kirschen, ein Hauch von Edelholz, einladendes Bukett, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, elegant, feine dunkle Beerenfrucht, gut integrierte Tannine, mineralisch, zeigt Länge, gutes Reifepotenzial."

"The 2021 Malescot St. Exupery is a terrific effort, offering up aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with notions of licorice, 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 château has worked very well with the cooler, later-maturing vintage. The blend is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot."

"The 2021 Malescot St. Exupéry is another terrific wine from a property that has been trending towards finesse. The 2021 represents another step in that direction, helped by the vintage, of course. Red cherry, iron, blood orange, spice, tobacco and cedar build as this mid-weight, savory Margaux shows off its considerable charms. Pretty floral top notes accent the finish. Tasted two times." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Malescot Saint Exupéry has quite a high-toned bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, exuberant compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, quite focused yet there is just a little dryness and abruptness on the finish. That might be remedied during its élevage so let's see how this turns out. I was anticipating a bit more from this excellent Margaux estate, but maybe it will meliorate in barrel? Not beyond possibility." von NEAL MARTIN

"Das Bouquet von Malescot ist voller Finesse und Präzision. Eine gekonnte Symbiose aus Nuancen von Graphit, dunklen Beeren und Gewürzen. Der Wein ist frisch, fruchtig und mit präzisen Tanninen versehen, die ein zuverlässiges Rückgrat bilden. Ein gelassener, einladender und vollendeter Malescot."

"A tight and focused young red with redcurrant and blackberry character. It’s medium-bodied with racy and fine tannins and a linear, focused finish. Lots going on, yet it’s tight and energetic."
