A bottle of 2000 Château Sociando-Mallet from the Haut-Medoc appellation in the Bordeaux region. The 74 hectare property is planted with 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and is widely considered to be of classed growth standard.
'This is a beautiful wine and certainly one of the great sleepers of the vintage. I originally predicted that this wine would be at full maturity between 2007 and 2028, but I would push that back by a good 4-5 years. Still inky/purple, with notes of acacia flowers intermixed with wet rocks, black currants, and blueberries, the wine is full-bodied, displays no real evidence of any oak, and offers up terrific concentration, texture, and length. For those who bought this beauty at $30-35 when it was available, this was a terrific buy, and it should continue to evolve for 20+ years. 92/100' Robert Parker, June 2010.

We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability.
