Lot #436. Malescot Saint-Exupéry 1961

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 JL.
"Brick color, with scents of dried black cherry, smoke, earth, tobacco and truffle. Concentrated with fleshy textures and the unique texture of truly mature, old wines, the wine finished with spicy, sweet dark and red berries. It was interesting tasting this wine as today, Malescot is on fire. They have morphed into one of the hot new properties to watch in Bordeaux." Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Apr 25, 2010
Notes: 2 top shoulder, 1 upper mid shoulder, corroded, wrinkled and scuffed capsules, 1 lightly torn capsule, heavily bin soiled and scuffed labels, 2 lightly mold stained labels, import tags partially covering labels.
