Sociando Mallet 2000 Bordeaux
Predominantly tobacco on the nose some black fruit lurking in the background -meaty and a touch disjointed, not particularly smooth - tannins nearly overpowering. I am not sure this has developed much since my last bottle (September 2005). Looking forward to seeing where this goes over the next 20 hours or so .....I know that there has been some controversy over the perceived 'green-ness' of this wine.....more tobacco than green pepper to my mind..
After 12 hours - less tobacco and more deep blackcurrant fruit - secondary hints of mint and spice - tremendous power with silky black cherry on the palate and still prominent tannins on the finish…..90-92pts
