Wine Review "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Malescot St. Exupery sings of cassis, fragrant earth, tobacco and lilac with a captivating waft of mocha. Medium-bodied to full-bodied and strutting, with plenty of expressive fruit layers at this young stage, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, ending with great length and depth."

"A stunning red with currants, blackberries, roses and violets. Medium to full-bodied, ultra-fine tannins and polish and finesse to the powerful tannins. A real eye-catcher. Better than 2015. Take a serious look at it, early 2024." (James Suckling: 97 points)
