2018 Château Sociando-Mallet
9/8/2021 - Monkeygrape Likes this wine:
First bottle since EP. Decanted 3 hours. Subdued signature spices, intense broody nose, exotic thick body which kept going and going. Would say it is the best SM so far! ;)
Id say much better than sm2000 in the long run. Now i just need to find my truck keys...

2018 Château Talbot Connétable de Talbot
9/4/2021 - Monkeygrape Likes this wine:
First bottle since EP tastings. Confirms that this is more enjoyable than the first wine.
Pour half glass rest slow ox 1 hour+ this is Big cab with dark cherry and tropic fruits. The scent is deep with tertiary flavours walled in. I like the round tannins the right amount of acidity. Its a modern body builder with classic taste, what value!

2020 Château Pape Clément
6/17/2021 - Monkeygrape Likes this wine:
Tasted twice in May. Its a bolder wine than 2019, with fairly long tannins and big finish. Adding to the other tasters note, at JS EP tannins had a soft shell that was quite attractive which was not apparent at ugcb. It is a very good vintage for pape clement rouge and highly recommended if you like the above qualities.
Personally I prefer the 2019 due to its finesse and secondly price increases for 2020 wines in general. Closest resemblance would be 2019.
