Dark notes detected on a relatively light nose. Smooth for an Haut Médoc. The dark fruit continues on the palate with some cedar notes in the background. Should develop nicely with a short stint in the cellar. Rating: 87 L&S (Apr 2018)

The 2017 Malescasse shrugs off a little reduction on the nose to reveal an attractive bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and black pepper/truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, crisp graphite-infused black fruit, conservative in style, but there is plenty of freshness and decent length. Good potential. Drinking range: 2020 - 2028 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2018)
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Malescasse gives up notes of wild thyme, baked blackberries and black plums with wafts of olives and earth. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a dip in the mid-palate, finishing a tad hard. Drinking range: 2018 - Rating: 82-84 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, RobertParker.com (Apr 2018)
From an estate located between Margaux and Saint Julien, in a great terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Château Malescasse is ruby/purple-colored and is a ripe, rounded, plush beauty that has terrific blue fruits, leafy herbs, bay leaf, and earth aromas and flavors. With moderate acidity and sweet tannin, it's an incredible charmer that’s going to impress right out of the gate. Rating: 87-89 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Apr 2018)
