Le Haut Médoc Du Prieuré

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

I think this is peaking. From a marginal year but really nice. Lots of cedar and a little roasted peanut note augmenting some nice, mellow cassis fruit on the nose. A big whack of intense flavors on initial entry, with tannins still there but softening. A teensy bit drying on the finish, but damn this is nice with grilled butterflied leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary. — 21 days ago

As you probably know, I love Sociando Mallet, though I prefer them older, but that’s just WTSO Al preference. But their wines are always solid and also reasonably priced by Bordeaux standards!

Gentle and feminine. Light and balanced. Nice wine  that reflects the vintage without overextracting strange flavors. — a month ago

Deep ruby in color with a slightly more garnet rim; cassis, black plums, baking spices, and molasses on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blackberries, blueberries, eucalyptus, and wet gravel with a long finish. — 14 days ago

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2024

Slightly too oaky. It will need them a few years to come together and probably blooming nicely. — a month ago

An oldie and a goodie direct from my cellar. Pop and pour. Color is still bright ruby/brick, no browning. Nose: tobacco, cedar, garden shed. Palate: acid +, body 0, T +, some graphite and echo of ivy leaf in the finish. Showing well, but also a fine old claret, even if still slightly rough edged. — a month ago
