16,5 / 20

The oak is dominant and spicy, and the tannins seem pretty raw, but there is a mass of fruit in this wine's core, so they have done something right in the vineyard. It will fall into line early in its life and provide rather exciting, hectic flavours, and then I expect it to run out of gas, or rather balance! But there is good fun and some genuine flair here, so dive in for early drinking if the price is right. 16.5

A tight and focused young red with redcurrant and blackberry character. It’s medium-bodied with racy and fine tannins and a linear, focused finish. Lots going on, yet it’s tight and energetic.

Beautifully balanced, the 2021 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry is a classic, impressive 2021 that's worth seeking out. Darker fruits, spice, dried herbs, and a kiss of flowers all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, has ripe tannins, and shows the pretty, graceful style of the vintage.

Du naturel d’expression et une aromatique très cabernet. Nez légèrement musqué et épicé, unitaire, complexe et savoureux, comme à son habitude.

Malescot Saint-Exupéry maintains its fresh and juicy style in the vintage of 2021, with delicate, silky and smooth entry of the palate. Although the complexity of its aromas is not pronounced, its fragrance of violet is very adorable. Even though it does not have the complexity of hot vintages on the palate, for fans who are into lively Margaux wine, Malescot Saint-Exupéry 2021 should be a good choice.

Initially you notice the brightness in the fruits before moving to the flowers, tobacco leaf, espresso, smoke and earthy nuances. The wine is focused on its vibrancy, freshness and fleshy style, managing to find the perfect balance between all three characteristics. The wine is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2027-2050. 92-94

The 2021 Malescot Saint Exupéry has quite a high-toned bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, exuberant compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, quite focused yet there is just a little dryness and abruptness on the finish. That might be remedied during its élevage so let's see how this turns out. I was anticipating a bit more from this excellent Margaux estate, but maybe it will meliorate in barrel? Not beyond possibility.

The 2021 Malescot St. Exupéry is another terrific wine from a property that has been trending towards finesse. The 2021 represents another step in that direction, helped by the vintage, of course. Red cherry, iron, blood orange, spice, tobacco and cedar build as this mid-weight, savory Margaux shows off its considerable charms. Pretty floral top notes accent the finish. Tasted two times.

Leuchtendes Rubinrot. Die Nase ist etwas scheu, feiner Duft, mineralische Noten, Veilchen und rote Beeren, etwas Rauch. Im Gaumen straff und mit knackiger Frucht, die Tannine sind präsent, umgarnen die Frucht, der Wein hat Zug und Frische, ist lebendig und hallt lange nach. Elegant. 2026 bis 2045 (Verkostet im April 2022. Dourthe)

Fruits frais, de belles notes de violette et de cassis pour un bouquet élégant et frais. Un côté légèrement racinaire. Juteux, bel enrobage, de la gourmandise et de beaux tanins pour un vin qui confirme son évolution vers un style élégant et frais.

The 2021 Malescot St. Exupery is a terrific effort, offering up aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with notions of licorice, espresso roast and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's impressively layered, with a sweet core of fruit, ripe tannins and lively acids. The dramatic style of the château has worked very well with the cooler, later-maturing vintage. The blend is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
