Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocato #158 (4/2005) Rating: 92 points Drink: 2006-2022
A terrific wine and probably a great value given the pricing for this vintage, Malescot Saint-Exupery’s 2002 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, notes of anise-infused plum, blackberries, and cherries, broad, full-bodied flavors, wonderful density, yet tremendous purity and elegance. A noble wine that exudes gravitas, give it 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 15-16 years.-Robert Parker
The Wine Spectator(3/31/2005) Rating:90
Silky and refined with pretty floral, currant and lightly toasted oak on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Elegant red. This guy makes serious wine. Best after 2007. 5,750 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Very big, solid colour, lots of depth, very ripe berry fruit, with a little leather that covers the blackcurrants, very ripe fruit and rich flavours, plummy and supple now and should gain tannins in barrel, very ripe style. Drink 2006-15. (Tasted en prime) |
