What you will taste
Sociando-Mallet famously never asked to be classified: its owner believed the wine would speak for itself, and for fifty vintages it has. Grown on a gravel rise overlooking the Gironde, the 2017 is classic Médoc: cassis and cedar, tobacco and cool earth, structured for the long haul yet ready tonight with a proper decant. Insiders' Bordeaux at its most rewarding.
The sommelier’s note
«A full hour in the decanter and 17 degrees. Serve it to Bordeaux snobs without showing the label; enjoy their praise.»
