Sociando-Mallet 1986 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Haut-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux. A standard-setting Cru Bourgeois estate, Château Sociando-Mallet produces full-bodied wines with a deep, dark colour. Their complex bouquet is usually dominated by black fruit aromas with a touch of minerality and well-integrated, elegant oak. "The 1986 Sociando-Mallet was picked between September 30 and October 11 and is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has a perfumed nose of potpourri, lavender, red fruit and a touch of wild fennel. It does not quite have the bucolic charm of the 1985, but it is still respectable. The fresh palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a ferrous midpalate and impressive tension and vigour toward the finish. A pinch of white pepper lingers on the aftertaste, completing what is a very decent 1986 Sociando-Mallet that continues to drink well." Vinous, 2019

Back to the deeper colour of the 1982, a little more subdued on the nose, then opens to show camomile, violet, lilac and black tea, plenty of complexity on the palate also, edges of mint leaf, blackberry, loganberry, thre is life in this, even tannic grip, not fully melted into the structure, and a refreshing mouthwatering quality on the finish. One to look out for. 80hl/h yield, unfiltered, unfined, 29ha in production, harvest September 30 to October 11, 33% new oak for ageing, Michel-Bernard Couasnon consultant.Jane Anson26th June 2024
