CHATEAU SOCIANDO MALLET 1986 |

Château Sociando Mallet 1986 Haut Médocu. 7vts, 1ts, bin-soiled labels, loose labelsA giant of a wine. Still so youthful - and what structure. Dense, tannic and rich. Needs years to reach its apogee but it opens out over the meal in a fascinating way. Again, at 23 years old: so very aromatic and intense. Wonderfully solid, firm, typical wine of the year. Fascinating in its dimensions and almost tactile texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW8 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
