Bordeaux, France
Vintage 2010 / archetypical Haut Medoc smell with dark fruit tones, spices like laurel, forrest, a hint of a stable, even chocolate. Good acidity. And not sturdy stubborn in concentration but light footed which makes it a lovely Sunday luncheon wine. It’s not only the quality of a wine that counts but also if it matches the occasion. This is probably the most quaffable Sociando Mallet I ever tasted. / Paired with Cantonese beef and paksoi.

Amazingly good, tasty, Bordeaux wine that is, the 2009 vintage, tasting fantastic right now. Feb 2021.
Floral, aromatic, big nose, violets, geraniums, dried cherries
Grilled pork chops, roasted sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts with bacon and walnuts.

At BBQ at Joe's place. A bit too dry for my liking.

Really solid, full bodied & dark colored Bordeaux. Unfiltered. Pairs well with steak.
