Medium straw color. In the nose, aromas of flowers and yellow fruit, apricot, grapefruit, orange zest. On the palate, the wine is dry, with high acidity, medium alcohol and medium + body. Nice and reasonably long finish. A pleasant wine, not overly impressive. But given the price, it is good value for money.

We tasted the 2013 Sociando Mallet from a Magnum bottle. Ruby color. Red cherry, some smoky note, Cigar box. On the palate, it is dry, medium acidity, with firm but silky tannins. Medium long finish. Nice Bordeaux, unlikely to develop more, but will still be at a good level for a while.

Mature Bordeaux at its best! We had the 1995 Léoville Las Cases from a Magnum that was in perfect shape. Ruby color, almost no grenade reflexes. Notes of dark red fruit, cassis, dark cherry, graphite, blackberry, with very slight hints of leather and coffee. On the palate, this wine comes across as still climbing to its peak, dry, medium acidity, full body, very long finish. A great pleasure to drink. Does need some air to open up. Still has potential to develop even further. Great wine.
