Chateau Sociando Mallet, Haut Medoc, 2000
The famous Bordeaux overachiever, from one of the modern era's greatest vintages. Sociando-Mallet sits in Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne on a gravel rise in the Haut-Medoc, and its late owner Jean Gautreau pointedly refused to enter it for any classification, convinced his wine deserved better than the labels on offer. The Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend is famously structured and built to age like a classified growth. The 2000 vintage was a hyped, near-perfect year, and this has had two-plus decades to soften into its prime. Decant and enjoy a wine that punches well above its station.
