2000 Ch. Sociando Mallet

This dry wine still has deep intensity purple colour. On nose it has quite intense aromas of bell pepper, vegetal, forest floor, maple leaves, blackcurrant smoke and touch of cedar and earth. Well developed. It has barely medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied. Medium ripe and fine grained tannin too. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of black cherry, bell pepper, earth, dry leaves, cedar and damp wood. Fairly long length with black cherry finish. (91) Decent and good length.

20多年的酒發展成熟一點也不出奇，所以酒的複雜性是一定有的，各種標誌性的成熟味道也能感受出來，更難得的是他仍然保存着那種酒的強度，餘韻亦長，顯示出這酒的生命力是多麼強。很工整，亦很好味。
