Epicé et assez mûr, bouche séveuse, longue et fraîche, assez tannique, structurée. Belle suite, finit ferme mais sans dureté, très classique, pour la garde.

The 2017 Sociando Mallet offers quite a bit of character and personality. In this tasting, the 2017 comes across as quite ripe and dense. Black stone fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are packed into this potent, richly constituted Haut-Médoc. The 2017 is not exactly subtle, but it does pack a serious punch in a hearty yet pleasing style.

Piquant red fruits with a firm wall of tannins greet you in the mouth. This OG, classic wine is going to need cellaring before it's able to be enjoyed.

The 2017 Sociando Mallet has quite a high-toned bouquet with macerated black cherries, boysenberry jam and top end violet scents. This is a more showy Sociando than of late. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, moderate depth, a more refined wine than I was expecting with a smooth, supple blackberry and bilberry finish laced with white pepper. There is a word I never expected to use apropos Sociando Mallet...gentle.

The 2017 Sociando-Mallet is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a spicy nose over a red plums and red currants core plus a waft of underbrush. The palate is medium-bodied with a well-judged, approachable structure and plenty of freshness, finishing fruity.

This wine offers a blackberry fruit flavor framed by crisp acidity and fine-grained tannins. It has a dry core, with plenty of spice and fruit tones to broaden it out.

This shows focus and brightness for a 2017 with firm and silky tannins and a vivid character. Fine and polished texture. Beautiful. Close to the 2015.
