v Deep crimson – looks very healthy and nuanced. Heady and almost medicinal on the nose. Very fresh and lively. Most appetising and succulent. Not overdone – just what you want of young claret. This is the first vintage (since 1969 tasted to the present) that doesn't seem quite ready yet. Great balance in lively key.

Tasted in New York. It is very difficult to find yourself in a blind tasting behind Pichon Lalande and Lafite Rothschild. The organizers have put this wine in the most delicate of positions. It has the simplest nose of all the vintages present. In particular, I was bothered by its green pepper note. On the other hand, while being behind Lafite, this wine shows a very nice entry in the mouth and even smoothness in the middle. The body remains moderately powerful. It has the slender shape of Cabernet Sauvignon that has not been picked very ripe. In accordance with what the nose suggested, the grain of the tannin is a little firm on the finish due to lack of maturity. But this wine remains of a very good level. It would surely be extraordinary if it had been harvested later.

Medium garnet center with some orange bricking at the rim. This has a stunningly complex “old school” nose of green tobacco, mint, barnyard, earth, and red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The palate is equally complex with tart cranberry, tobacco, mint, cedar, and rosemary throughout the long finish. Unsurprisingly, medium-bodied on the palate with supportive acidity and fully integrated tannins that provide a rounded mouthfeel to this perfectly aged wine. Consumed with medium rare steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls for Thanksgiving. It paired well with everything, including the asparagus, because the herbal backbone matched the rosemary in the steak as well as the greenness of the asparagus. Overall, this is why I age Bordeaux. It was great with food and on its own, and while I do not love underripe wines, I can appreciate a touch of green for complexity.

Classic, old school styled wine, with firm, strict tannins and a strong, cedar, tobacco, leaf, green pepper and cassis nose. Full bodied, but with an austere, stiff leaning, you can either drink this now, or age it further, for more secondary character.

Dark-colored, with vanilla, spice and smoky fruit flavor. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a silky texture. A stylish wine, showing spicy character. Sociando did the business this year.

Château Château Sociando Mallet
Château Sociando Mallet
Chateau Sociando-Mallet Cru Bourgeois Haut-Medoc wine from the Gironde. Chateau Sociando-Mallet is a wine prized by lovers of fine wines, as evidenced by its annual sales success in futures. The wine of Jean Gautreau is a great forgotten the 1855 classification. Because it is not formally part of the nobility of the Crus of the Medoc - even as it competes more than one. - Chateau Sociando-Mallet must remain prudent in its price level. It offers one of the best price-pleasure of all the great Bordeaux!.
