Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux 2005

Exhibits blackberry, mineral, currant and dark chocolate. Full and velvety, with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Long and caressing, with incredibly sweet fruit and tannins on the finish. Goes on for minutes. A thoroughly gorgeous wine. Best after 2015 (it will evolve into late 2030s). Ranked #18 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2008. Highly Recommended. Score – 97.
