Tasting Notes

Given how splendid recent vintages have been, I expected a bit more from Malescot Saint-Exupery, clearly a property on the rebound over the last decade or so. The elegant 2001 is Margaux-like in its fragrant plum, cassis, and floral-scented nose. Medium-bodied, light, but pretty, it offers notes of red and black fruits, supple tannin, and a polished, straightforward finish. Drink it over the next 10-11 years.

Looks quite evolved at the rim. Grassy, fresh, certainly an expression of the vintage but a bit of a weedy one. For those who love acidity.
