| | Swedish wine association Munskänkarna Brussels branch general annual meeting tasting tutored by Vintomas. Flight 1 - 1992 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Brick color.
Classical mature Bordeaux notes, stable, very nice grassy, herbaciousness.
Not very concentrated and fully developed, should be drunk without hesitation. However a very nice wine still. (90 pts.)
- 1995 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Rather discreet nose, cellar.
On the palate the fruit is dark, chocolate.
No tannins but high acidity, a bit medicianal. (89 pts.)
- 1996 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Fairly concentrated color.
oak, coffee, balanced, medium concentration, a healthy dose of acidity, will improve. (92 pts.)
- 1999 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Very nice on the nose, very balanced, still some tannins and oak to resolve and. Classical old school Bordeaux! Will improve! (92 pts.)
- 2000 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Classical Bordeaux on the nose, very seducing grassiness, herbacousness.
On the palate very good balance, but still some greeness, will improve! Classical old school Bordeaux! (93 pts.)
- 2004 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Still blueish color.
Dark fruit, however probably not as good concentration as the 2000.
Needs another 3-4 years of cellaring. (91 pts.)
Flight 2 - 2005 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Very round, smooth and Merlot-y.
Thick, sweet fruit, any present tannins are soft. Will improve.
Modern style Bordeaux. (92 pts.)
- 2006 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Needs another 5 years of cellaring.
Slightly reminiscent of the 2005 but with higher acidity, however, there is nothing that grabs my interest... (90 pts.)
- 2007 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
Very nice grassiness and herbaciousness in the style of 1999 and 2000 but without the same concentration.
Should be perfect in 3 years!
A perfect example of well made luncheon claret from a medium year at an afordable price. (91 pts.)
- 2008 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
In the vertical tasting this appears as very unintriguing at the moment, however there is nothing that really grabs my interest. (90 pts.)
- 2009 Château Sociando-Mallet - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
You can sense the warmth, very soft, pleasant and immensely enjoyable composition already. Should however be cellared 5 years before reasseing. Will improve! (92 pts.)
