Sociando-Mallet - 2003 (750ml) Buckhead one of the finest effortsThis fresh Northern Medoc demonstrates how strong the 2003 vintage can be in this sector of Bordeaux. The tannins have softened considerably, and the wine reveals a youthful dense ruby purple color. Notes of white flowers, blackberries and black currants are found in this still youthful, medium to full bodied, rich wine that is just approaching full maturity. It should provide plenty of pleasure over the next decade. Robert Parker 90 points
