"The 2016 Malescasse is quite powerful and rustic, but also quite pleasing in its own way. Black cherry, chocolate, cloves, spice and licorice add character. Although not especially complex, this expressive, hearty Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois has a lot to offer. It should drink well over the next handful of years."

"The 2016 Malescasse has a very high toned bouquet with blueberry and black cherry fruit, very floral in style but just very high toned and showy. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, plenty of tarry black fruit but it lacks definition on the finish and feels over-egged in the winery. This is disappointing as I admired other vintages of Malescasse in the past. A second bottle is slightly better but still bitter and this one, slightly metallic on the finish. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London."

"The 2016 is a powerful, explosive wine. There is not much subtlety here, that much is obvious. A rush of dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and cloves hits the palate in this exuberant, flamboyant Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois. The blend is 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Frédéric Massie and Hannah Fiegenschuh consult."
