Château Sociando-Mallet 2018 has a beautiful dark purple colour with brilliant reflections. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet dominated by layers of ripe black fruits, cooked and candied, accompanied by the scents of undergrowth and cut herbs. A delicate mineral touch is also felt.
On the palate, Chateau Sociando-Mallet 2018 is characterized by its full-bodied and powerful attack. The aromas of ripe black fruit are revealed in successive layers, revealing a great freshness, and evolve by letting vegetable and warm spicy notes emerge on the finish.
There is fantastic purity of black fruit with blackberries and ripe raspberries. Floral and bright. Full-bodied, compact palate with super polished tannins. Really fantastic. (4/2019)
A beautiful rich damson colour, this is powerful, intense, classic Sociando - and for me it's even better than the 2016. It has good tannins, and lots of them, with a core of plum, damson and cassis with a side of fresh herbs, liquorice and subtle spice. It shows great persistency. A wine to look out for. (JA) (4/2019)
The 2018 Sociando Mallet delivers a convincing bouquet of blackberry, boysenberry, cedar and light earthy/terra-cotta aromas and nicely integrated oak. The palate is svelte on the entry, offering very good acidity, layered red berry fruit laced with cassis and crushed stone, and an atypically plush, sensual finish. This might well be the best Sociando Mallet I have encountered at this stage, and it will age with style and grace. Chapeau, Jean and Sylvie Gautreau! Highly recommended.
Offers a good dose of currant and blackberry paste flavors, coated with tobacco and tar details. Shows more guts than polish, but solid nonetheless. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Score range: 90 - 93
