Chateau Malescasse Haut-Medoc

Bordeaux

Haut-Médoc

Enjoyable, well handled, sappy dark fruits, good qulaity overall, subdued and in the character of the vintage, but with Médoc typicty. An enjoyable early to medium term drinker.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2023 Malescasse is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a lot of shaking to wake up scents of ripe strawberries, raspberry leaves, and fresh redcurrants with hints of rosemary and lavender. The medium-bodied palate has a good core of red berry flavors with a firm, lightly chewy texture and savory finish. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Malescasse rocks up with ready-to-rumble notes of baked plums, warm cassis, and kirsch, plus wafts of garrigue and red roses. The medium-bodied palate is laden with bright, evocative black fruits with fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, finishing with impressive length.

Amateur

Dense damson and black cherry fruits, smooth, deft, silky, this is excellent, almost Pessac-like in its silky confidence but with plenty of Médoc tannic frame. There has been extensive restructuring at Malescasse of over the past decade, including replanting of 15h of vines, and this is one of the best examples that I can remember tasting at this stage. Philippe Austruy owned (also of Château Peyrosolle in Provence, plus estates in Tuscany and Portugal). A yield of 23hl/ha, 33% new oak.

Located just outside of St Julien, you get plenty of Haut-Médoc typicity, with crushed mint, flint and pencil lead, still young but with plenty of cassis, bilberry and tobacco notes adding layers and complexity. A low 23hl/h after a dry summer so not the most typical vintage, and one that can be drunk a little earlier than usual, 33% new oak.

Rødlilla på farge. Duft av solbær, mørke skogsbær, sedertre, hint av blyant og lær. God og konsentrert vin som egner seg perfekt til kjøtt. Balansert og fin syre med noe avslipte tanniner. Drikker godt nå, men kan fint ligge litt til. Ble dekantert i 2 timer før servering. God value BDX.
