Other Reviews...
Fresh, with good cut to the plum and black currant fruit, showing extra tobacco and iron notes on the finish. Has a good shot of toast, but enough fruit and minerality to soak that up. Rock-solid.
89-92 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Superb concentration of Cabernet fruit; great ripeness and structure. A polished wine with a good future. Never disappoints.
17/20pts (90/100pts)
Decanter
Chewy and rich with serious fruits and a nutty character. Full and long. Excellent length.
92-93 points

The Château Sociando-Mallet 2014 has an outstanding nose: very intense blackberry and raspberry fruit, fine delineation and tension, a real humdinger! The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine tannin, plenty of grainy red berry fruit mixed with cedar and bay leaf, with great conviction on the finish. This is a great Sociando Mallet from Jean Gartreau - expect it to land at the top of that banded score.
