2014 Malescot St. Exupery
This was lovely last night, margauxberries, an appealing earthiness, nice balance. A little sweet in the first sips but it rounded out. I have seven bottles left, I'll give them another five years and they should be about at peak. Drinking beautifully now though. Deep purple/ruby Margaux color. 92 points.

Well done Jim....Orlando Bobby has been preaching the quality of this vintage.
I recently picked up the '95 Malescot..I also have a Malescot birth yr. '10 for my daughter Jett and an '06 for my son Cage...there is a '12 lurking around too. Bobby thinks Malescot is a bit too new world, but I have not found it overly so...though truth is, I have not tasted many recent vintages of Malescot.

It may indeed be a touch modern, but not overwhelmingly so.
Re: 2014 Malescot St. Exupery
I've only had a few vintages but that was my general impression too.

More times than not, there is simply too much new oak used for my liking.
Re: 2014 Malescot St. Exupery
My main experience with Malescot is the 2009 and 2015 and I also found it to be over the top modernist. The 09 was actually pretty delicious young but didn’t age well

I'm happy to have bought four bottles of the 2014. 3 down, one to go. No experience with other vintages.

I had one of the 14 Malescot's a year and a half ago. Was quite tight then, good to see it's opening up.
