Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #146 (4/2003) Rating: 92 points Drink: 2007-2022
A great effort, the 2000 Malescot St.-Exupery exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a sweet nose of high quality oak, minerals, tobacco, black currants, and intriguing floral and anise notes. A wine of great purity, flavor concentration, and uncanny depth that seems to build in the mouth, this is a classic example of a quintessentially elegant, medium to full-bodied Bordeaux that is light on its feet, and impressively nuanced, yet concentrated. Gorgeous! -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2003) Score: 93
Intense aromas of crushed berries, earth, meat and spice. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, green tobacco and berry finish. This is an estate on the rise. Superfine. Almost forgotten by some. Best after 2010. 8,600 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Huge colour, ripe, almost fleshy nose, very rounded and seductive, ripe and velvety texture, lovely extract, very well balanced and should show well early on, but last very well. A fleshier, suppler and richer Malescot than in the past, very attractive indeed. Ready 2006-2020 |
