JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS - "This is a big wine from Sociando-Mallet. Massive, very full and very muscular, with so much tannin in a dusty way. Powdery, tight and really well made. Atypical, massively fine tannins that are less Bordelais, but the quality is outstanding. Long, ample and dissolved. 63% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc."
WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "The 2022 Sociando-Mallet is a beauty, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings, espresso roast, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's velvety and layered, with powdery tannins and a long, penetrating finish. It's a blend of 63% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc."
