1995 Malescot St. Exupery
Margaux, Bordeaux
The other night, during a party, me and a couple of my hard-core wine guests snuck off into the cellar and popped a few corks. I didn't take notes, but it's worth filing a progress report on this wine to say that it's drinking spectacularly well right now. The last time I had it, about two years ago, it was a bit of a big bully. It's still earthy and masculine, but it has both calmed down and grown up--lost its primary roughness and become a gentleman. Thanks, Covert--I bought this on your recommendation.
