Château Sociando-Mallet 2001 revisited
Sunday, July 4th, 2010A revisit to this wine that I last enjoyed (immensely) a couple of years ago. I am almost sorry that I have just glugged my last bottle of Château Sociando-Mallet 2001. On this form I really ought to order some more, but it has gone up in price rather a lot since I purchased. Up to £40 per bottle right now. Ooof – one in the nuts for my wine budget. Actually, I was one of those footballing kids who used to duck when planted in the wall. I also made my own a useful, if cowardly, habit of turning around as the kick was taken, to protect my valuables at the expense of seeing the ball. Oh well, it’s only a goal isn’t it? On reflection, I am surprised I never made it into the England squad, when you look at the current crop.
