Chateau Sociando-Mallet 2008 (Chateau Sociando Mallet)

Wine Advocate, May 2011, Robert Parker 90 Drink: 2013 – 2033

Performing far better from bottle than it did from cask, the full-bodied 2008 offers abundant notes of plums, blueberries and black raspberries interwoven with hints of white flowers, damp earth and background oak. This impressively endowed, muscular effort will benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades.
