2019 Malescot-St-Exupéry, Margaux

Sweet currant and berry aromas with hints of blackcurrants, black cherries and flowers. It’s full-bodied and layered with beautifully polished tannins that last for minutes. Tight and very focused.

Deep dark fruit and red fruit aromas with graphite are followed by a nuanced, juicy palate with vivid fruit, bright yet suave. The tannins are just a bit foreboding on the long finish, but that’s because it is so young. Give it time in your cellar, as this excellent wine is very balanced and has structure for the long haul. And still a great deal for the quality. (PK)
