Chateau Sociando Mallet 2003, Haut-Medoc, France Champagne dry north wind of Burgundy”The 2003 Sociando Mallet is drinking brilliantly, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of blackberry and cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil, cigar box and pencil shavings. Medium to full bodied, layered and muscular, with a deep core of fruit, impressively lively acids and ample reserves of rich, powdery tannin, it is one of the real successes of the vintage. It's also one of the most youthful tasting 2003s you can find today.
