Notes of minty cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, deftly framed by toasty new oak, introduce the 2019 Sociando-Mallet, a medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that's incipiently complex and elegantly muscular in profile. The style of the vintage has lent this more youthful polish than is sometimes the case, and it will offer a broad drinking window.
Fresh and focused, showing red currant and damson plum, with a chalky spine and savory and tobacco flecks on the finish. Textbook. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Medium-dense garnet red colour. Medium-intense, elegant nose. Full-bodied palate with melting and present but ripe tannins, very intense and complex flavours, with typical cassis fruit, also showing floral notes, mineral, well-integrated acidity, balanced, elegant, dense texture and with a very long finish.
Haut Medoc is Left Bank's largest appellation yet curiously underrated thanks to is illustrious neighbours. The terroir contains potential to yield Cabernets Sauvignon driven wines that can age for decades. And this is where Chateau Sociando-Mallet has been making wines true to terroir since the 1970s when it was founded by visionary Bordelais Jean Gautreau. His selection of vineyards close to the Gironde estuary on primarily gravel soil has led to this deliciously Cabernet dominated blend that displays intense colour and exquisite length. Savour this stellar age-worthy Bordeaux.
