2010 Château Malescot Saint Exupery 3ème Cru Classé Margaux A.C.

Robert M. Parker (Wine Advocate): 95 Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010
Gorgeous, flowery, classic Margaux once again, the 2010 Malescot St.-Exupery continues to show virtually no toasty oak, given the impeccable balance and full-bodied, full-throttle style it possesses. Black raspberries, creme de cassis and spring floral notes intermixed with forest floor and a hint of charcoal are followed by an opulent, sexy, full-bodied wine whose tannins have become much sweeter, while the wine is less restrained yet still exuberant and impressive. This is a phenomenal example once again for this estate, harmonious in every sense of style, extraordinarily long, rich and ageworthy. Three to four years of bottle age will do wonders to make it more accessible, but this wine is set for 25-30 years of longevity. Genussreife: 2013-2036

Extrem dunkles Purpur. Vielschichtiges, parfümiertes Bouquet,Holunderblüten, Brombeeren, Heidelbeeren, tolle Tiefe. Feiner Gaumen, seidigeTannine, blaue und schwarze Beeren, gut stützende Säure, was dem Wein auch eineimposante Länge beschert. Wieder auf Top-Niveau – wie schon letztes Jahr. Genussreife: 2013-2043

Wine Spectator (James Molesworth): 93-96 Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010
Fresh and lively, with lots of prominent but silky tannins carrying themouthwatering plum, red currant and black cherry fruit. Rock-solid, with greatburied acidity and a long, vivid finish.

Decanter (Steven Spurrier): 17,5/20 Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010
Striking fragrance of cassis-Cabernet fruit with a hint of greenness that addslift, very good extraction and florality beginning to emerge, will showfascinating complexity over time. Genussreife: 2018-2030
