The 2019 Chateau Mauvesin Barton has more dark fruits, structure, and length, and it's a little more serious as well. Still, the tannins are nicely polished, and the balance is spot on. It's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade.

The 2019 Mauvesin-Barton has a rather backward nose without quite the same level of energy as its peers, therefore demands more coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with loose-tannins, fleshy and approachable yet missing some grip on the finish. Not bad, but certainly not best in class. Two bottles tasted, the second demonstrating a tad more fruit, yet still not as convincing as it…

The 2019 Mauvesin Barton is gorgeous. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, tobacco, mint and spice lend nuance to this gracious, beautifully lifted Moulis. The 2019 is understated yet wonderfully expressive and very tasty.
