Château Sociando-Mallet
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
I think this is peaking. From a marginal year but really nice. Lots of cedar and a little roasted peanut note augmenting some nice, mellow cassis fruit on the nose. A big whack of intense flavors on initial entry, with tannins still there but softening. A teensy bit drying on the finish, but damn this is nice with grilled butterflied leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary.
