Chateau Malescot St. Exupery Margaux 2006
|
Red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of blackberry, violet and dark chocolate. Juicy, bright and quite tight, with an inky quality and good clarity to the intense dark berry flavors. Lively and persistent, finishing with smooth, harmonious tannins and excellent lift and length. This was a standout in the Union des Grands Crus Margaux tasting. My subsequent sample at the estate began a bit more chunky, with a ripe, chocolatey character and slightly rough tannins, but showed a candied blackberry element and more intense fruit with aeration, turning much more expressive and gaining in freshness.
