Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery 2005 — 3896 — 3896

2005 Margaux: Minimal rainfall, drough and cool nighttime temperatures. It helped to preserve the grapes' acidity. For the Château Malescot-St-Exupéry, which is a 3ème Grand Cru Classé, the merlot was harvested early and the Cabernet Sauvignon was left on the vine until late. The resulting Bordeaux Blend therefor has a rich and deep flavor, with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry subtly intertwined with a rock-hard minerality. All these fruit aromas are perfectly balanced with the tannins (80% aging in new oak barrels).It is recommended to decant the wine. It is best enjoyed till 2040
