Lovely nose, pure, soapy and floral. A big mouthful but it has real elegance and freshness. Top class here this year.

The deep ruby purple 2010 Malescot St-Exupery adds aromas of violets, plums, blackberries and spices, echoed on the palate with excellent persistence. This is a wonderful full-bodied Margaux with generous flavours and great depth and intensity. Jeannie Cho Lee MW asianpalate.com
Malescot St. Exupery Blending 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot with the remainder evenly split between Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this Margaux wine reached 14% alcohol. This is not a taste by the numbers wine. There is no sensation of heat in this beauty. Aromas of tobacco, cigar ash, stone, blackberry and floral scents pop from the glass with little effort. Mouth coating layers of concentrated, dense, ripe, sweet dark berries, powerful tannins and freshness. Rich, thick and flavorful, with a boatload of tannin, this Bordeaux wine will require over a decade of time in the cellar. Pairing high quality, style and price, this merits serious attention. 95-97 Pts Jeff Leve winecellarinsider.com
This is a 2005 Malescot in the making. And that was stunning. I love the blueberries, chocolate and nuts on the nose and palate. The finish lasts for minutes with so much . Goes on and on. I want to drink this! Wow. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
