CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
The 2020 Sociando-Mallet is very attractive, exhibiting aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of pencil shavings, loamy soil, tobacco leaf and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with lively acids and powdery tannins, its a strong effort from a site that always does well in warm vintages. The 2020 is a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc.

Cask sample. Generous, sweet black fruit on the nose. Rounded and juicy with an attractive undergrowth sort of quality to it and plenty of chewy tannin to last. Tempting to think that this would be quite a good price, and could age as well as many more prestigious addresses. (RH)
