2014 Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 29, 2024 - Decanted 90 minutes. Took to Florida for our trip. Drank alongside an 05 Haut Bailly, 15 Dominio de Aguila Reserva Ribera del Duero and Mayback Cab. Fruit is still too young for my taste but was far overshadowed by the 05 Haut Bailly. For sure Zbirdeaux with typical nose. Modern Bordeaux but all are now it seems. Need to leave remaining bottles for several years. Great QPR though,
