2009 Chateau Sociando -Mallet

Tasting Note:

This uncompromising property has turned out a backward forbiddingly tannic wine that even in this very opulent and flamboyant vintage will need a minimum of 10-15 years of cellaring yet keep for 40 or more years. Opaque black/purple with notes of crushed rock white flowers graphite blueberry and cassis the wine is tight and needs to be coaxed from the glass. It is medium to full-bodied with an excruciatingly tough-textured finish. Everything is here and the wine is set for a long life but it is not the least bit charming and certainly won_t be for at least another decade. Source: Wine Advocate
