The Château Sociando-Mallet 2014 has an outstanding nose: very intense blackberry and raspberry fruit, fine delineation and tension, a real humdinger! The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine tannin, plenty of grainy red berry fruit mixed with cedar and bay leaf, with great conviction on the finish. This is a great Sociando Mallet from Jean Gartreau - expect it to land at the top of that banded score. <br/><br/>

Fresh, with good cut to the plum and black currant fruit, showing extra tobacco and iron notes on the finish. Has a good shot of toast, but enough fruit and minerality to soak that up. Rock-solid.—J.M.

55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Intensives Cabernet- Sauvignon-Bouquet, mittlerer Druck, floraler Schimmer, sehr ansprechend. Im Gaumen mit feinen Muskeln, schwarzer Pfeffer im Extrakt, aromatisches Finale. Gesellt sich zu den sehr guten, aber nicht ganz grossen Sociando's. 2019 – 2036
