2025, Château Mauvesin Barton, AOC MOULIS-EN-MÉDOC, 1500mls Magnum2025 is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. Lovely cool and crisp aromas with charcoal, cola, blueberries and a hint of iris. Softly chewy but really juicy with a strawberry fruit core and chalky tannins that spread out across the mouth. This should round out nicely with such good acidity and purity of fruit. Really very easy to approach. Nothing out of balance. A great value pick that really delivers a classic Bordeaux aspect. 93

tannins a little tight right now

More structure here than the preceding wines in the range

I very much like the seductive and caressing texture of the medium weight flavours that aren't quite as minerality driven but offer a bit better depth and persistence

I loved it

It’s a big wine

The palate is medium-bodied with fine density and precision

The light to medium-bodied palate shimmers with vibrant red and black berry flavours

near Canon and above Angélus

this is packed with depth and intensity
