Wine Advocate (Robert M. Parker): 91+ Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010 A very classic wine for patient connoisseurs, Sociando Mallet makes no compromises and continues to produce one of the finest wines among non-classified estates in Haut-Medoc. Dense purple to the rim, the opaque purple-colored 2010 offers up notes of graphite, blueberry and black raspberry fruit, a hint of cassis, some licorice and wet rocks. Deep, full-bodied and almost excruciatingly tannic, this full-throttle, balls-to-the-wall style of wine needs at least 8-10 years of cellaring and should keep for three decades or more. Genussreife: 2021-2051 Weinwisser (René Gabriel): 18/20 Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010Sattes Purpur-Granat. Feinwürziges Brombeer- und Cassisbouquet, Lakritze und Edelhölzer. Grosser Gaumenauftritt, zeigt viel Volumen, reife, blau- bis schwarzbeerige Frucht, aromatisches Finale. Gehört mal wieder zu den ganz Großen des Jahrgangs. Genussreife: 2017-2034 Decanter (Steven Spurrier): 17/20 Punkte für den Jahrgang 2010Great depth of fruit, deep ripeness and resonant flavours, fine texture and vigour, very good future. Genussreife: 2015-2025
