95 James Suckling
Redcurrants with sweet tobacco, hazelnut, mint and moist earth, following through to a medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a palate that grows at the finish. Needs a minimum of three or four years to come around. Try after 2025.
93 Robert Parker
Notes of minty cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, deftly framed by toasty new oak, introduce the 2019 Sociando-Mallet, a medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that’s incipiently complex and elegantly muscular in profile. The style of the vintage has lent this more youthful polish than is sometimes the case, and it will offer a broad drinking window.

Fresh and focused, showing red currant and damson plum, with a chalky spine and savory and tobacco flecks on the finish. Textbook. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. 23,500 cases made, 2,000 cases imported. — JM

Producer
Château Sociando Mallet

Château Sociando Mallet is without a doubt the most impressive estate in the Haut-Medoc region. Nestled in the village of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, it has been producing quality Cru Bourgeois for decades. Jean Gautreau, a native of the Médoc and a former wine merchant, discovered the property by chance in 1969 when he was looking for a property for a Belgian client. It was love at first sight, and he bought the estate with its 5 hectares of vines and its dilapidated buildings. Jean Gautreau completely transformed the property, expanding the vineyard, renovating the buildings and even building a brand new winery. His efforts have resulted in an impressive estate, incorporating 85 hectares of vineyards. Sociando-Mallet today stands as a monumental blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Grand Vin, with a certain aging potential, displays a typical style of wines meant for aging, with soft and youthful tannins that make it an unforgettable red.
