16 Rene Gabriel
Mittleres Rubin mit lila Schimmer am aufhellenden Rand. Süssliches Bouquet, Kirschentöne, wirkt dezent dropsig im Ansatz, Grenadinetouch aber auch hellen Tabak zeigend. Im Gaumen viel Saft bietend, auch hier wieder sehr viel Frucht, eher leicht im Körper, die Gerbstoffe aber angenehm integriert, fein kernig im Innern, will offensichtlich früh Spass bieten und muss mit dem weiteren Ausbau nur noch seine kernige Note ablegen. Dann kann er noch einen Punkt dazu verdienen. trinken (2012 - 2021)

Delivers licorice and blackberry on the nose, with fresh currant bush. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a slightly lean finish. Needs a little time. Best after 2011. 35,000 cases made. –JS

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.
