Château Sociando Mallet Haut-Médoc 2010

Flaschenbewertung (März 2013):
" A very classic wine for patient connoisseurs, Sociando Mallet makes no compromises and continues to produce one of the finest wines among non-classified estates in Haut-Medoc. Dense purple to the rim, the opaque purple-colored 2010 offers up notes of graphite, blueberry and black raspberry fruit, a hint of cassis, some licorice and wet rocks. Deep, full-bodied and almost excruciatingly tannic, this full-throttle, balls-to-the-wall style of wine needs at least 8-10 years of cellaring and should keep for three decades or more. "

Fassbewertung (Mai 2011):
The classic 2010 displays everything one expects from this over-achieving Haut-Medoc. A dense purple color is followed by aromas of blueberries, black currants, graphite and crushed rocks, a layered, full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning concentration and sweet, more polished and refined tannins than are normally found in barrel samples of Sociando Mallet. This cuvee should last for 20-30 years.

Sattes Purpur-Granat. Feinwürziges Brombeer- und Cassisbouquet, Lakritze und Edelhölzer. Grosser Gaumenauftritt, zeigt viel Volumen, reife, blau- bis schwarzbeerige Frucht, aromatisches Finale. Gehört mal wieder zu den ganz Grossen des Jahrgangs.
18/20 Punkte - Trinken: 2017–2034


Great depth of fruit, deep ripeness and resonant flavours, fine texture and vigour, very good future.
