Chateau Malmaison 2016 Magnum, A.C. Moulis-en-Medoc, France

£50.00

Château Malmaison, located in the appellation of Moulis-Medoc, is one of the regions oldest vineyards. After the estate was acquired by Baron Edmond de Rothschild in 1973, a replanting programme was introduced to maximise the vineyards potential. The cellar and vat room have been recently been extensively modernized. Château Malmaison produces a full bodied claret with plenty of character and ability to develop in the cellar.

Malmaison 2016 exhibits and deep ruby colour with a slight browning at the rim due to extended barrel maturation. The nose screams left bank Bordeaux; cassis, leather, cedar, brambly red fruit and toasted oak with menthol and cigar box. The palate is loaded with warm vintage fruit, supple tannins and great intensity. Great to drink now, but will evolve well in a cool cellar.
