The 2008 Malescot St Exupery has a conservative, correct bouquet that to be frank is rather unexciting compared to its peers, although it does open and reveal briary and crushed rose petal scents and bingo, you are soon under its spell. The palate is medium-bodied with “furry” tannins, good depth of fruit and it has a fine line of acidity. I like the spine of this Margaux and the classicism shown towards the bright finish. It is one of those wines that meliorates with acquaintance, approaching previous scores that I have awarded this wine. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Lift and polish. No tannins to speak of but very pretty for current drinking. Leafy. Almost more like a 2007! (JR)

Very dark purple. Very intense and intriguing. Complex. Very luscious and layered and attention grabbing. Gorgeous! (I see I liked it en primeur too.) (JR)
