Le Haut Médoc De Giscours

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

This wine seems finally mature, with tannins fully resolved, but still showing a firm backbone and structure, fresh acidity, very good balance, lingering finish, always a good wine for me. Funny anecdote about Sociando-Mallet, at least in the 1980s they used the worst “glue” on their labels, so about 1/3 of them fall off — as long as the bottles are in OWCs, not a big deal, but this is one where the label did fall off. 🤔🤷 — 18 days ago

@Dave @Tom Casagrande — I’ve been buying for 45 years, often in larger quantities than I should have, which leads to great wines an, alas, an increasing number of disappointments. 🤷
