Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend

Medium garnet , terracotta rim . Quite intense tobacco , cassis , earthy blackberry , coffee. On the palate the fills out ok , with some dusty tobacco tinged dark fruits , slightly austere and rather dry tannins , just starting to dry out on the finish . Quite fresh acidity , ok length . This is at the end of its drinking window and is actually quite a good example of Sociando Mallet , a little rustic but commendable for the vintage . Drink now and over the next couple of years

Had the 1998. Very well balanced and smooth.

1998! Toujours bon

This bottle was a little tired but the classic taste was still there.

Smells of old oak & pencil shavings, classic bordeaux flavors.

1998 Chateau Sociando-Mallet, Haut-Medoc, France

Wood (cedar), plum, tobacco. Pure ecstasy.

Very good 2.8
