  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von kandierten Veilchen, schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis und Lakritze, einladende Frucht, ein Hauch von Nugat, Komplex, saftig, kühle Beerenfrucht, feine Süße im Kern, seidige Tannine, frischer Säurebogen, mineralisch und anhaltend, ungemein attraktiv im Abgang, harmonisch und fein, großes Reifepotenzial."

  Plenty of blackcurrant and blueberry character here with cedar and sandalwood undertones that give such interest. Medium- to full-bodied, this has integrated tannins and a long and linear finish. Racy at the end. Classy. Give this three or four years to slightly soften, but it’s already a joy to taste. Drink after 2029."

  Wine Spectator
  A flat-out stunner, with waves of blackberry, black currant and plum that tumble through like crumpled velvet, while the vintage's telltale iris/violet gilding weaves throughout. There's a long tug of warm humus and a deftly inlaid alder smoke accent as well. Seriously long, with the fruit providing a steady grip. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2042. 8,364 cases made."

  Spicy red and black currants, leafy tobacco, spicy wood, loamy earth, and some sappy floral notes emerge from the 2022 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry, an incredibly complex, pure, elegant 2022 that has polished tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. Based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, drink this incredibly impressive, satisfying Margaux over the coming two decades."

  The blend here is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The aromatics feel appropriately sweet and primary, with a nose of sugared blackcurrant, black pepper, sweet liquorice and fragrant currant. This is followed by a harmonious and polished texture through the middle, carrying blackcurrant, sweet currant, black pepper, liquorice and toasted tobacco, draped over a rich bed of firm and tightly integrated tannins. This has a dark and peppery energy I adore, leading to a finish rich in peppered dark fruits, violets, rose petals and a touch of white peach. This is a delicious Margaux, dark, correct yet perfumed, simply exuding confidence on the palate, through to the long finish. Put this 2022 from this property - too often overlooked - in the cellar, you won’t be disappointed. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%."

  55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot, 5 % Petit Verdot. Betörendes blaubeeriges Bouquet, ein satter Strauß Veilchen, Iris und Flieder, dahinter Lakritze und schwarzer Johannisbeernektar. Am komplexen, durchtrainierten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, balancierter Rasse und engmaschigem Tanninkorsett. Im konzentrierten Finale Wildkirsche, dunkle Mineralik und mehlige Adstringenz. Kann noch zulegen."

  Bottled without fining or racking to preserve all its fruit, the wine is dense and powerful. It is a very fine wine, the black currant aroma and powerful tannins giving an impressive appearance. Drink the wine from 2028."

  Espresso, black raspberries, chocolate, cherries, and mint aromas pop in the perfume. The palate is lush, round, and full, with creamy tannins, and a long, intense wave of black cherries, espresso, chocolate, and a refreshing note of spearmint on the backend, which I really like a lot. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2027-2050."

  Decanter
  Intensely perfumed and fragrant on the nose, supple and succulent, really quite juicy and highly acidic with both a dark blackcurrant and red cherry juiciness, tannins are nicely present, filling but with a great texture and this has a nice overall brightness and vibrancy that some don't have. I really like this, feels elegant and nicely detailed, soft, really not trying too hard. Will be for easier drinking than some but nice. A yield of 30hl/ha. Harvest 19 September - 5 October. Ageing in French oak for 12- 14 months, 70% new."

  This is very good, intense, great concentration and grip, rose buds, damson, tension, grip and personality. A wine that I can often find overpowering, but it is thoroughly enjoyable in this vintage. Léa Zuger owner, Michel Rolland consultant."

  The Wine Advocate
  Aromas of sweet blackberries, espresso roast, petals and toasty oak introduce the 2022 Malescot St. Exupery, a medium to full-bodied, rich but lively wine with a ripe core of jammy fruit, supple tannins and a slightly evolved finish. This appears to have lost a touch of precision during élevage."
