True to form, the 2005 Sociando is very dark in colour, almost black, but the freshness on the nose is a sign that this depth of colour is quite natural and unforced. Rich black fruits pervade in a very fine aromatic profile, while on the palate the fruit is brilliantly clear and pure, with an intense attack and lengthy persistence. There is a great balance of flavours, hints of minerality and silky smooth tannins; very impressive.
Sociando Mallet is sometimes described as the Latour of the northern Medoc. The same ridge of gravel that runs through Leoville Las Cases and Latour reappears further up the Gironde estuary just to the north of St Estephe, underneath Sociando. This meticulously run estate has been producing wines of Cru Classé level for many years now, so sadly it is not priced like most Cru Bourgeois... However, if you are looking for serious, mineral Claret with long-term aging potential and Pauillac class (but not the price tag), then look no further.
