Parker about Château Malescot St Exupery 1994
This well-placed Margaux estate has turned things around as evidenced by the tasting notes for the 1993-95 vintages. A dark ruby color, and an herbaceous, curranty, vanillin-scented nose are attractive, but what I find particularly appealing about the 1994 Malescot-St.-Exupery is its layered, richly fruity, beautifully pure style. It is not a big wine, but it possesses good intensity, a sense of grace and balance, and the impressive ability to open and expand after 5-10 minutes of airing. This should turn out to be a stylish effort that may merit a higher score if the herbaceousness turns into a cedar component after 3-4 years of bottle age.

Château Malescot St Exupery 1994
Château Malescot St. Exupéry 1994 is a Bordeaux wine from the Margaux appellation that reflects the elegance and structure of this renowned region. The 1994 vintage in Bordeaux was characterized by changeable weather conditions, resulting in wines that are somewhat more subtle and traditional in their style.
The wine has a deep ruby red color with light garnet reflections, indicating its maturity. The bouquet unfolds appealing aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle notes of plums, dried herbs, and a delicate spice. Also typical of Margaux are the floral notes of violets and roses, which lend the wine additional dimension and elegance. Aging in oak barrels adds delicate nuances of vanilla, cedarwood, and a hint of mocha, harmoniously rounding off the aromas.
On the palate, the 1994 Château Malescot St. Exupéry presents a medium to full structure with fine-grained tannins that lend the wine a pleasant texture. The fruit flavors are well integrated and supported by a lively acidity that lends the wine freshness and balance. Notes of leather, tobacco, and a subtle minerality contribute to the complexity of the flavor profile and lend the wine additional depth.
The finish is long and smooth, with a beautiful blend of fruit and wood notes that linger gently on the palate. The 1994 vintage is now enjoying its perfect maturity and finesse, but it is also aging-worthy for several years.
Château Malescot St. Exupéry 1994 is a classic Margaux wine that embodies the elegance and structure of this famous appellation. It is an excellent accompaniment to dishes such as lamb, veal, or aged cheeses, offering a pleasant and balanced drinking experience for lovers of traditional Bordeaux wines.
