Tasting notes
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.
