Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it is redolent of warm red and black currants, kirsch and raspberry pie on the nose with floral wafts, tobacco and wild sage in the background plus a hint of pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, it is packed with expressive red and black fruits and is velvety and refreshing, finishing long.

This has a lovely plushness and purity on the nose with copious dark cherries, blueberry and violet aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a subtle marine influence here with a precise and persistent finish. This is one of the best Margaux wines in 2017 and comes highly recommended. You know, this might improve further with bottle age.

Nicely textured and medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe tannins and a great finish. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot brought up in 70% new oak, drink this juicy, fresh yet nicely textured wine over the coming 15-20 years. Michel Rolland also consults here, and this estate consistently produces outstanding wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e (2\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Butcher's Dog","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":54177166754156,"sku":"WW-CCD-077-R17","price":215.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/4065\/3676\/files\/s450316545255245912_p2066_i1_w1080.png?v=1787666278","url":"https:\/\/thebutchersdog.com.sg\/products\/chateau-malescot-saint-exupery-margaux-a-c","provider":"The Butcher's Dog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
