2019 Chateau Malescot St Exupery – Margaux

Richer and more flamboyant than its Margaux peers — ravishing red berry fruit, vanilla, iodine, and cassis on the nose, becoming increasingly floral with aeration. A cashmere texture on entry, with wonderful cohesion, veins of black pepper and allspice, and a reassuringly long finish. A 3rd Growth Margaux firing on all cylinders.
