Description

Selling 2 bottles of this lovely medoc. I drank this most recently last year and this is only just starting to hit its peak. I have 3 other bottles which I am keeping to drink over the next decade. I agree with Parker in that this is better than some classified growths and this vintage surprisingly is the best I've had from this vineyard better than 2000 and 2005 in my opinion.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 164: Sociando-Mallet is the poster child for what cru bourgeois estates can achieve. This is a wine that is consistently of classified-growth quality and also one of the longest lived wines made in the Medoc. An exceptional vintage for Sociando-Mallet, 2003 has produced a spectacularly concentrated, inky blue/purple-coloured wine with an extraordinary nose of blackberries, raspberries, some white flowers, and a hint of lead pencil shavings. The wine is powerful, extremely full-bodied, quite tannic, and seriously endowed. This is stunning wine that is rich, layered, and in need of 5-6 years of bottle-age. It should keep for 30+ years. It is certainly a riveting effort for the vintage and, as I wrote last year, probably a modern-day version of a hypothetical blend of a 1970 and a 1982. 94 points.

Fantastic levels, labels/bottles show very slight soiling (see pictures).
