James Suckling A fantastic 2017 from Margaux with a deep and ripe core of fruit in the center palate. Silky and juicy tannins. Full body, plenty of fruit and a long, flavorful finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Malescot St. Exupery is scented of crushed red and black cherries, warm plums and mulberries with touches of roses and wood smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of vibrant red and black fruits and soft, plush tannins, with a long, perfumed finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin Dark and intense color. Fruity nose with a touch of cherry specific to the Rolland school. Soft on the attack, juicy in the mid-palate, the wine crescendoes and stretches out, long and sappy, in the finish. It's good.

Decanter This is fairly substantial on the palate, although the fruit is just a notch below full ripeness. They have done a good job here, producing an enjoyable wine. There is evidence of winemaking on show which is skilfully carried out, but it just finishes a little short. Enjoyable medium term drinking from owner Jean-Luc Zuger. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038
