Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Viel Heidelbeeren, Joschtabeeren, Lakritze in den erfrischenden Kräuternoten ist Minze und auch Eucalyptus drin. Sehr aromatisch im Gaumen, geniale Länge und somit auch im Finale wieder mit viel Beerentönen und dunklem Edelholz aufwartend. Da liegt noch ein weiterer Punkt in Griffnähe

The 2011 Sociando Mallet has a very old school, rather austere nose, nicely defined although you do wish it would convey more fruit. The palate has good fruit concentration, fine grip with a slightly savory and a dried blood-tinged finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
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.
