1982 Chateau Sociando-Mallet (Very Slightly Scuffed Labels)

"One of the great wines of the vintage in the Médoc, from perfectly conserved bottles, the 1982 Sociando-Mallet continues to display extraordinary vitality and intensity of flavor at age 40. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, burning embers, pencil shavings and sweet soil tones, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy spine of acidity and sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish." 94/100 - Wine Advocate
