Château Sociando Mallet Haut-Médoc 1985
Not quite as concentrated as the 1982, this has a touch of leafy raspberry and rose stem on the aromatics, slightly softer ruby red colour also, just beginning to fade around the edges. On the palate things are still delightful, structured, fresh acidities on the finish with orange peel, pomegranate, waves of raspberry puree and white pepper studding. This one is fully ready to drink, 29ha of vines in 1985, unfiltered and unfined, 33% new oak for ageing, Michel-Bernard Couasnon consultant.
