Château Sociando-Mallet--Vintage 1996
Haut-Médoc, cru grand boureois
In original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 615-616
"An impressive cru bourgeois, Sociando-Mallet's opaque purple-colored 1996 displays a tight but nicely scented nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and high quality vanillin from new oak barrels. In the mouth, the wine is dense and full-bodied, with a boat-load of tannin, as well as gobs of extract, glycerin, and depth. This example will age at a glacial pace. However, it is unquestionably of high quality, and the requisite fruit and depth are present to balance out the wine's structural components."
