1989 Chateau Sociando-Mallet Italian New hints of mint and sage"Chteau Sociando Mallet produces full bodied wines with a deep, dark colour. Their complex bouquet is usually dominated by black fruit aromas with a touch of minerality and well integrated, elegant oak. Often somewhat "virile" when young, the wines gain in balance and complexity with age. They are fresh, straightforward, and have a wonderful length." Chateau Sociando Mallet
