Malescasse Haut Médoc 2014 (JS 93)

“Aromas of blueberries and minerals with hints of spices and some bark and blue fruits. Medium to full body and a savory finish. Appreciate the decadence. Excellent from here.” James Suckling 93 Points

“A gorgeous wine in its class, the 2014 Malescasse exudes sophistication. A blast of dark red and purplish-hued stone fruits makes a strong first impression. Silky and voluptuous on the palate, the wine offers notable depth in a hugely appealing midweight style. Best of all, it has developed beautifully over the last two years. This is an especially refined Malescasse that bodes very well for the future of the property. The blend is 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot and 5 % Cabernet Franc. Frédéric Massie and Hannah Fiegenschuh are the consulting winemakers.” Vinous 91 Points

“With vines in the village of Lamarque close to the Gironde estuary, this estate is well placed to benefit from the warmth of the water. The wine, a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot (with the remainder Petit Verdot) is richly structured and dense. It has firm tannins as well as perfumed black-currant fruit.” Wine Spectator 92 Points
