Tasting Notes

The 2007 Sociando-Mallet has a pleasing sense of mineralité and delineation on the nose: nicely focused with attractive rose petal scents. The palate is brisk on the entry with rigid tannin, quite savory with a gravelly, masculine and tobacco finish. It's a little rough around the edges, but it should drink well for the next 5-7 years. Tasted March 2015.

Score: 87

This is just a little over-extracted for Sociando Mallet. Saturated black fruits but there is a touch of prune mixed in there. The palate is tannic with good delineation but the finish is green and rather austere. Tasted April 2008.

Score: 85 - 87

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 April 2008

Delivers licorice and blackberry on the nose, with fresh currant bush. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a slightly lean finish. Needs a little time. Best after 2011. 35,000 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2010

A fruity wine, with a slightly hollow midpalate, but clean and attractive. Medium tannins and a fresh finish.

Score: 85 - 88

Cedary (sappy) cassis. Markedly silky in the context of this vintage. Gentle and restrained and yet has nicely sustained juicy fruit and good length. (JH)

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2011-2016 10 April 2008

Deep colour, discreet nose, fleshy fruit and good structure on the palate, good class if rather severe and four-square at the moment. Drink 2013-20.
