2005 Château Sociando-Mallet, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc

2005 Château Sociando-Mallet, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 176: Always one of the most ageworthy and backward wines of Bordeaux, Sociando Mallet could be described as the poor man’s version of Latour or Montrose. Based on the still painfully young bottles of the 1975 and 1982 in my cellar, the 2005 will undoubtedly last for 30-40 years. It exhibits graphite, black currant liqueur, smoke, and toast characteristics, zesty acidity, huge tannins, and equally massive concentration and extract. From a proprietor who consistently transcends his pedigree, it is a beauty of purity and symmetry. 91+ points.
