Details
Château Sociando-Mallet--Vintage 1995
Haut-Médoc, cru grand bourgeois. Château-bottled
Not in original wooden case. Lightly bin-soiled labels
Tasting note: This accessible, yet tannic example of Sociando-Mallet possesses a deep ruby/purple color, and excellent aromatics consisting of jammy black cherries, blackberries, and cassis, as well as subtle notes of minerals, earth, and new oak. This is a deep, long, muscular, tannic wine that is structurally similar to the 1996. Patience will be required from purchasers of this high class wine. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, February 1998
