Chateau Malescot St. Exupery 2003

Professional Ratings

• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The noteworthy, classic Margauxs from this estate remain under most consumers' radar. Displaying low acidity and a forward style, the exotic 2003 is undeniably fragrant, complex, and sexy. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of truffles, underbrush, plums, cassis, and a hint of figs. The tannin is sweet, and the texture is multilayered. This full-bodied, chewy, round, sensual Margaux should evolve gracefully for 15+ years. Bravo!

  Plenty of blackberry and floral aromas with hints of new wood. Full-bodied, chewy and rich with round tannins and a long finish. Very tight. Lovely silky texture.

  surprising success from a lesser known chateau. This third growth has produced a finely balanced wine with black fruits and wood flavors. Best Buy.

  Slightly cooked dark fruits with a coffee and chocolate undertone on the nose. Full bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long fruity finish. Very yummy.
