James Suckling: 97 Points
"Some very rich and ripe red and dark berries here make for an impressive engaging nose that has charming violet undertones. The palate is velvety and supple while super smooth tannins deliver a long and plush plum-soaked finish. Great wine and already drinking well. Try from 2023."
Vinous: 95+ Points
One of the highlights of the vintage the 2015 Malescot Saint Exupéry is superb. Grilled herbs smoke black cherry lavender menthol and graphite literally explode from this glass. Huge swaths of tannin give the wine its shape and big ample frame. Iron smoke graphite grilled herbs and licorice punctuate the huge powerful finish. Readers should be in no rush to open the 2015 as it is likely to require at least a handful of years to become approachable.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Lovely steeped plum fig and blackberry fruit is melded thoroughly with notes of alder lilac and warm tar giving this both treble and bass while velvety tannins carry the finish with ease. Offers a long sanguine detail through the finish. Best from 2022 through 2040. 8871 cases made. ?JM
Wine Advocate: 94+ Points
"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored the 2015 Malescot St. Exupery is scented of chocolate-covered cherries cassis and red plums with touches of earth and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied with ripe grainy tannins and plenty of expressive fruit it finishes long and pure."
Wine Enthusiast: 91-93 Points
"This is a lightweight wine that's fresh and fruity with an attractive suggestion of tannic structure and ample acidity. The wine will develop quickly."
