Domaine Du Haut Rauly

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

This savory gem is part of the 2005 stash we purchased to celebrate our grandson Carter’s birth year. Often called “poor mans Latour,” Sociando shares a similar terroir one finds in Pauillac.

Well into its tertiary stage, it still is in many ways, (other than primary aromatics and flavors), displays the youth and vitality of a much younger wine.

Structurally firm, Medium>full body, ample fruit, medium+ acidity, with competing chalky tannins at the finish.
Overall quite savory, red and black fruits abound with hints of nuts and woodland herbs. Long life ahead !!

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

2021 vintage. The C is totally different from the grand vin, from a parcel in Marcillac. I would probably not have guessed Bordeaux in a blind tasting. Very unique style, Bordeaux for Burgundy lovers maybe. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. — 8 days ago

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

From 750ml with a couple hours of air, it’s showing bell pepper and ripe currant fruit with just a hint of leather, knit together by lovely acidity. At peak and excellent but with plenty of life remaining. — a month ago
