Chateau Sociando Mallet 2015

JAMES SUCKLING: „Some graphite and toasted spicy fruits, which create an impressive opening. Iodine and dark berries follow. The palate has a similarly spicy start, which builds waves of fine, ripe tannins that hold impressively fresh and deep. Try from 2022."

DECANTER: „There’s sightly more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, however the latter dominates the dense nose. This is outstanding even by Sociando’s own high standards: rich and robust, fleshy and concentrated; wonderfully generous fruit, with ripe tannins and a long finish.“

FALSTAFF: „Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, sehr attraktive schwarze Beerenfrucht nach Cassis und Heidelbeeren, einladende Fruchtsüße, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, elegant, feines Brombeerkonfit, integrierte Tannine, mineralisch und anhaltend, sehr gute Länge, gutes Reifepotenzial.“
