2003 Malescot St Exupery - Margaux (750ml)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Showing no signs of age, this fully mature, dark plum/ruby-colored 2003 offers notes of forest floor, spring flowers, spice box and tobacco leaf. It possesses all the finesse one would expect, which is surprising in such a hot year. This medium-bodied Margaux should continue to drink well for a decade or more. - WA, RP (8/2014)

Good medium ruby, dark for the vintage. Explosive aromas of roasted currant, coffee, game and leather. Fat and full in the mouth, with an exotic chocolate flavor; chewy and rich but not a sweet style, despite its very low acidity and high pH. The tannins are broad but not dry, and the roasted fruit flavors build impressively on the back. I might have scored this very full-bodied wine even higher except for its slightly rustic character.- Stephen Tanzer (5/26)
