Chateau Sociando Mallet 2006

Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceDill, black olive, peppery, tobacco leaf, cassis, bell pepper aromas. Dry, lean, thin, hard palate. Very weedy, herbal, dill, green olive, tobacco leaf, green cassis flavours. Tannic finish that is thin and coarse. Not much here. This wine has been getting free pass for some time but at $69 the wood is overwhelming the fruit and it simply lacks charm.Tasted: 28 October 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
