04 Sociando Mallet $240 case

Post by Houndsong »

The sale was pointed out in the 2008 Bdx thread. This looked like the deal not to pass up. https://www.binnys.com/inc/mops/2009/Ma ... s_rev2.pdf

Wow, I haven't seen prices that good on SM in a very long time. Hopefully this is a trend and not a fluke.

Is this one of their "must-live-close-enough-to-pick-up" sales, where they can't/won't ship?

I've crossed this bridge with Binny's before.

This is shippable, so far as I can see. I placed an order anyway and I'll let you know what happens. It would make for a nice "anyweek" wine, at least in my house.

That price caught my eye as well, I thought it was half bottles at first. Last time I checked Binny's didn't ship to Maine.

Buy, you lucky chaps, buy. If you can be bothered to look up my note on the old site - no, don't bother - just buy!

Think: better than GPL, Brane etc - and I love both of those and 04s generally and bought heavily.

Soc Mallet is/was my bargain of the vintage (followed by Durfort Vivens at a much lower price) - only rival is the amazing Langoa (see my note - no, don't bother!) but the price of that is now much higher (at least in UK).

04s are lovely. Think 01 succulence with 02 structure - wnen they're good - and most of them are. Why buy 08s - these are here, ready, and can be still bargains like this.

Binny's is scouring all 21 stores in an attempt to fulfill order. Probably not gonna happen.

After my recent Burgundy and St Innocent purchasers, I need a breather. When I look next, it will be for Bordeaux. I hope I find some deals as good as this one!
