A cracking bottle of classic, old-school Haut-Médoc. The 2000 Sociando-Mallet is now hitting a glorious phase… the sort of claret that reminds you why Bordeaux is Bordeaux. 2000 wa s a landmark year on the Left Bank - ripe, confident fruit, impeccable balance, and structure built for the long haul. Sociando-Mallet thrived, producing one of its most complete and age-worthy wines of the decade, now drinking beautifully but still very much alive. Sociando-Mallet sits on superb gravel and clay overlooking the Gironde, and despite its “humble” status outside the 1855 Classification, it's long been one of the Médoc’s great insider estates.
