I've been given a bottle of 1986 Sociando Mallet......it was in a temperature controlled cellar. any thoughts? I was going to bring it to dinner but I'm just not sure

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How could you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!??

'86 was a strong cabernet sauvignon vintage. Many of the great wines from that vintage still taste youthful. The Sociando should very good. Remember, though: '86 was the Chernobyl vintage. :smile:

I googled a couple websites and it appears that Sociando is a well made and well-respected wine, with a long life. When I bring something old enough to be dubious, I ususally bring a spare, which I produce if the wine is shot or, in the case of Chernogyl-year wines, glows eerily.

A bit about the wine
