International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 120

Ruby-red. Roasted black and red fruits on the rather exotic nose, with a smoky nuance. Fat, thick and sweet, with chewy black fruit flavors and dusty tannins that coat the incisors. A distinctly powerful Sociando at 13.1% alcohol, but not at all flat or heavy.

Sociando-Mallet is the poster child for what cru bourgeois estates can achieve. This is a wine that is consistently of classified-growth quality and also one of the longest lived wines made in the Medoc. An exceptional vintage for Sociando-Mallet, 2003 has produced a spectacularly concentrated, inky blue/purple-colored wine with an extraordinary nose of blackberries, raspberries, some white flowers, and a hint of lead pencil shavings. The wine is powerful, extremely full-bodied, quite tannic, and seriously endowed. This is stunning wine that is rich, layered, and in need of 5-6 years of bottle-age. It should keep for 30+ years. It is certainly a riveting effort for the vintage and, as I wrote last year, probably a modern-day version of a hypothetical blend of a 1970 and a 1982.

Wine Spectator Author: James Suckling

Beautiful and intense aromas of blackberry, lightly grilled meat and currant. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and big, velvety tannins. Blockbuster. 24,750 cases made.

Great bottle, little less stuffing than the last one, coming into peak. Great bordeaux QPR.

Harsh tannins and burnt cherries were my impressions for the first ~2 hours. After that the wine really opened up, the tannins soften and we were left with soft berry fruits, very nice. But clearly needs plenty of time to breath.

with grilled rib-eye steak and roasted potatoes. Long finale. Tannins are still strong (year of the "canicule"). A very good wine, that can be cellared another 5 years easily.
