2014 Château Malescot St. Exupéry
Community Tasting Note
wino from way back Likes this wine:
93 Points
Saturday, February 18, 2023 - Per WS: 93 points.
“Alluring, with Lapsang souchong notes that weave around the core of gently steeped red and black currant and plum fruit flavors. A strong graphite edge marks the finish, giving this excellent cut and drive. Very suave. Best from 2020 through 2030. 8,100 cases made.”

I’m unfamiliar with Margaux, but felt this bottle weighed well in my narrow window of experience. Per my CT account, I still have another bottle, but would certainly buy again if I could find it. Wino in Encinitas.

This is going to be one of the first wines I try along with several more 2014 Bordeaux that I have. I have tried the 14 Brane Cantenac which is lovely. Margaux typically has lots of floral notes of violets, lavender, roses and can be feminine and elegant which the Brane Cantenac is. A Classic Margaux. I will be posting TN’s for the Malescot. Cheers.
