Dark and brooding, plenty of wet earth and graphite. Dark red fruit on the nose and palate, more extracted than I’d guess from an HM, masculine with an alluring dark herbal streak. Kept going back to this. Will get better for 3-5 years still, lots of power to spare.

Excellent. Very different than the 00. Full bodied. Still carries a bit of that woody construct but in a subtle way vs the 00 which was light in body with strong hints of green pepper and cedar.

Dark ruby w black olive aromas and a hint of oak and leather. Med body dark fruit flavors w extremely long mouth-filling finish. Drinking well now but will continue to evolve over next few years

Dark ruby with bouquet of cassis, graphite, dark berries, a little Bret. Very round tannins, lush mouth feel with cassis, earth, berries, and some licorice. Hot year made this rally suave compared to other cooler yrs of Sociando. Not stewed at all and drinking beautifully now. Probably very nice over next ten yrs

Old school classic claret. This is as always a great value option. Loads of dark fruit, slightly edgy tannins, tobacco and smoke. Still very tannic, old school style.

Happy Valentines Day to us! A great Bordeaux contrasted with a Will Harlem Cab! Great contrast of old world and new.
