Château Sociando-Mallet, Ht-Médoc - 2012

It has a dark purple colour with barely tiled edges. The nose opens slowly with notes of pot pourri, wet earth, spices and graphite. The attack is fine and juicy, with a surprisingly vinous body for the vintage, the wine has a beautiful structure and vinosity. It can be enjoyed young and can be kept for a long time. In its early adult life, it is a great classic that will last! ! Bettane & Desseauve: 16.5/20; Jancis Robinson: 16.5/20; ; Decanter: 90/100; James Suckling: 90/100; Wine Advocate: 90/100
