The nose here is slightly reticent but with an appealing black-fruited character. The palate shows black fruit and coal with a nice presence, that transitions to a pleasantly-fruited if slightly short finish.

Blackberries, black currants, flowers, cedar, mint, and tobacco fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated, deep, and packed with layers of chalky, ripe, red fruits, spice, herb and cigar wrappers. This is among the best vintages of Sociando Mallet I have ever tasted. Drink from 2027-2050. 93-95 Pts.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Red over black fruits, a little cedar, a touch of fleshiness here as well. In the mouth it has medium plus intensity acidity, savoury, juicy, red over black hued fruits with a woody tsunami in support. On the large side but nice.

Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Quite a bit of structure for the fruit. Still needs to find itself, a bit rustic, but this wine always needs a bit more time than others.
