Chateau Sociando-Mallet 1986 (review)

92 points

From Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France

Great dark colour, fantastic for 19 years of age. Concentrated, almost sweet flavour that hits immediately and then ends with a still substantial tail of tannin. I've not previously been a super fan of this wine or vintage, but this really is coming into its own now.

Serious claret. Well cellared.
