Commentaire de dégustation
A beautiful dark and deep color. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruits as well as delicate notes of licorice and chocolate. The tannin structure is solid, the tannins are ripe, silky. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, generous, with a beautiful acidity which brings freshness and balance. The finish is long, persistent. Fruity, spicy notes stand guard. “Malescot has often shone thanks to Caberner Sauvignon. Once again, this cepage will be responsible for an excellent Chateau Malescot St-Exupéry 2023.” Michel Rolland.
