CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2014 Malescot St. Exupery feels a little oaky on the nose, though it coheres in the glass with wild strawberry and cranberry and a touch of dried flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, fleshy but missing real complexity. Cracked black pepper appears on the finish. You could drink this now, but it isn't going anywhere and seems more evolved than expected. Punters' Margaux (as they say). Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Malescot-St-Exupery has a clean, fresh and vibrant bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, a touch of graphite emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit laced with cedar and graphite. The acidity is well judged, that pencil lead note heightened towards the finish that demonstrates very fine persistence. I like the swagger and class of this Margaux and I can see this offering two decades of drinking pleasure.
