Château Malescot St. Exupéry 2022

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. Drinking window: 2029-2045. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
