一応ブルジョワ級としましたが、2003年からは申請なし、ということで格付けなしになっています。が、もう関係ないですね。品格はブルジョワ級では有り得ないのですから、むしろメドックの2級以下は欲していないのでしょう。安くてお宝になるべきワインでしょう。
2003 Sociando-Mallet
Sociando-Mallet
Haut
Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux Blend (a dry red table wine)
Reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of the 1982 and 1975, this
is an incredibly powerful, amazingly rich offering possessing extraordinary
freshness and precision, an inky blue/purple color to the rim, and a stunning
nose of crushed rocks, creme de cassis, acacia flowers, and graphite. This
full-bodied, powerful effort is crammed with concentration, has elevated
tannins, but low acidity, and, I am sure, a relatively high pH. Rich, profoundly
concentrated, and serious, this is the kind of stuff that makes a mockery of
Bordeaux’s classification system. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2035.
One
of the cru bourgeois estates that always performs at classified growth quality
levels, Sociando Mallet has, for 20 years, been the insider’s choice for top
quality wine that will easily withstand two decades of cellaring. Bottles of the
1970, 1975, and 1982 from my cellar are still youthful and evolving!
