Tasting Notes
The 2016 Sociando-Mallet has a refulgent purple/black color. It has a very intense and rich, you might say 'ambitious' bouquet with layers of small black cherries, blueberry and a touch of sloes, less tertiary than previous vintages and certainly more opulent. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannin that almost disguise the firm structure underneath. I admire the completeness of this Sociando-Mallet, the neatly embroidered new oak and the freshness on the finish. The 2015 Sociando-Mallet did not fire on all cylinders last year, but this 2016 is totally convincing. It comes highly recommended as one of the best wines produced at this estate in the northern M�doc. This is an outstanding wine from Mon. Gartreau. Drink Date: 2022-2045. Score - 92-94.
