2016 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry

Ein MUST BUY, gehört der Wein doch zu den Top 10 des Jahrgangs 2016. Delikatesse in ihrer pursten Form. Dunkle, dichte Frucht, betörende Süße. Breit und stoffig am Gaumen. Jeder Schluck ein Genuss!

James Suckling: 97/100 Punkte
»This is a superb wine. I didn't think it could be better than the 2015 but indeed it is. Full, layered and sexy. It goes on for minutes with dense fruit, yet it's also vivid and showcases sublime tannins and acidity balance. Great finish.« 

Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte
»Frisches, seidenes, komplexes Bouquet, Erdbeeren, Himbeergelee, Heidelbeeren, Schiefer, Minze. Eleganter, dichtverwobener Gaumen mit samtener, fein muskulöser Struktur, kräftiger, frischer Frucht, vielfältiger Aromatik, langer, duftiger Abgang.«
Trinkgenuss: 2024-2038

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95/100 Punkte
»Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Malescot St. Exupery sings of cassis, fragrant earth, tobacco and lilacs with a compelling waft of mocha. Medium to full-bodied and strutting loads of expressive fruit layers at this youthful stage, it's framed by ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing with great length and depth.« 
Trinkgenuss: 2021-2045

Wine Spectator: 93/100 Punkte
»This opens slowly, showing a slight woodsy bent, with alder and mesquite notes leading off, but as it does the core of red currant, blackberry and plum fruit flavor fleshes out nicely, soaking up the woodsy element while adding in light savory detail and black tea and violet notes. A long mineral echo chimes through the finish.«

Vinous: 92-95/100 Punkte
»The 2016 Malescot Saint Exupéry is superb. Powerful, virile and inviting, yet with tremendous balance for such a young wine, the 2016 captivates all the senses. Smoke, licorice, incense and a host of more soil-driven notes give the wine its signature aromatic profile. Malescot Saint Exupéry is a decidedly muscular Margaux, but the extraction also seems a bit dialed back.«

Wine Enthusiast: 93/100 Punkte
»This estate is really improving. The wine in this vintage is full of fragrant fruit, with the tannins making a fine backdrop to the juiciness. It's going to be a fine medium-term wine.«
