Château Sociando Mallet 2005

“Very dark crimson – much bluer than the 2006 for example. Fresh yet intense. Lots of appetising notes here. Not at all heavy. Racy. Almost light and transparent! Very mineral. Very much of the terroir. Real succulence. Not heavy handed at all – still an undertow of cassis. Excellent balance. Drink 2017-35”  Jancis Robinson
