Chateau Sociando-Mallet Haut-Mèdoc 2017 i trækasse

James Suckling

Freshness and brightness to this. Medium to full body with firm, juicy tannins. A little chewy now, but will come around nicely with bottle age. Excellent for the vintage.

La Revue du Vin de France

2017 is pleasant, fine, fresh and nicely balanced. A fairly accessible Sociando.

Antonio Galloni

The 2017 Sociando-Mallet has turned out well. Pliant and supple on the palate, the 2017 has quite a bit of aromatic complexity as well. I would prefer to drink it on the young side given its mid-weight structure. The 2017 is not quite as overt as it was en primeur, but it is impeccably balanced and very nicely done. Cool savory accents round out the finish.

Falstaff

Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate lightening of the edges, cassis with a delicate floral underlay, ripe cherries, a hint of blackberries, fresh orange zest. Medium-bodied, red currant, racy and freshly structured, integrated, fine tannins, salty, a lively accompaniment to food with aging potential.

VV Wine

Noble nose, stone, smoke, mint, herbs, dark cherries, shows depth and complexity. Firm attack, then spreads out, shows the teeth, clear tannins, very structured, the acidity is precise, gives a lot of freshness, powerful but not heavy, wonderful length on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast

This wine offers a blackberry fruit flavor framed by crisp acidity and fine-grained tannins. It has a dry core, with plenty of spice and fruit tones to broaden it out.
