Chateau Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc 2016 i trækasse

93-96/100 Anthocyanes, Y. Castaing

95/100 Falstaff
"Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, subtle brightening of the edges, inviting ripe heart cherries, ripe plums, delicate nougat, underlaid with a hint of spices. Juicy, dark berry fruit, pleasant extract sweetness, present tannins, fine wild berry jam, convincing freshness, sticks, secure ripening potential."
 
94/100 James Suckling
”Dark-berry and currant aromas with hints of spice. Medium body, firm and chewy tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Shows focus and seriousness for the appellation, as is usual from this producer.”
 
94/100 Bettane et Desseauve
"Harmonious, complex, long, more successful and precise than the previous years, even 2010..."

94/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"For the past few vintages, as a result of the replanting of several plots of Cabernets, Sociando has relied on a larger proportion of Merlots. This 2016 offers a superb juice, with a finesse and smoothness of tannins that already make it irresistible. The fruit explodes in the mouth!"

94/100 René Langdahl, GASTRO
"Blod og rust, hyldebærsaft og koks, skrotbunke og båltomt og gammeldags tanninstruktur med mundudtørring på den gode måde og her i 2016 en rig cabernet-tæthed, der pakker den heftige og mildt bitre tannin ind. Genial bordeaux."
 
94/100 VV Wine
"Dense bordeaux red, violet reflections. Deep, noble, smoky nose, wow, a terrific scent, unbelievably complex, only showing fractions, a great wine is in the offing. The palate begins softly, the wine is creamy, spreads out, is incredibly balanced, dense and concentrated, but light as a dance, finely woven tannins, perfectly dosed acidity, a powerhouse, a little Montrose, but not at all small. A really great Sociando - a new 90s or 2000s?"

“this 2016 is totally convincing. It comes highly recommended as one of the best wines produced at this estate in the northern Médoc. This is an outstanding wine from Mon. Gartreau.”

92-94/100 Christer Byklum
"Ruby. Anise, blueberries, fruity nose, detailed nose, rich and ripe. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruity, dark berries, anise and spices, long"
 
93/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Deep in color with dark red fruits, earth and tobacco and an herb and olive note, this wine has good weight and density. The tannins are round and polished and the finish is packed with dense, dusky fruits.”
 
93/100 Tasted.com
"The nose displays some new wood with red and dark fruit, rather floral and high toned aromas with a fine touch of wood. The palate is polished and elegant with digest red fruit, crushed red currant, tobacco and fine woody notes. Persistent and silky finish. A very elegant version of this classic."

18/20 René Gabriel
"Tightly interwoven, powerful palate with dense, dark aromas, velvety, fine muscular structure, lots of good tannins, strong fruit, very long, aromatic finish with strong back flavors. Can still improve"
