2005 Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery

"Deep, dark and rich, unctuous, lush, and round, the dark red and black fruits are perfectly ripe with nuances of flowers, espresso, tobacco leaf, thyme, and a hint of blue fruit in the background. While the wine is fleshy and opulent in nature, there is also ample freshness so this offers lift, length, and energy. Drink from 2022-2045." - 94/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
