Robert Parker considers this estate "equal to many Classified Growths"—the definitive argument for Haut-Médoc value. The 2015 is outstanding even by Sociando's own high standards: 50% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon from gravel over clay-limestone in Saint Seurin de Cadourne, at the far north of the appellation. Medium-bodied with firm, bright character—red berries, cedar, tobacco, herbs, espresso—finishing with a touch of austerity that promises decades of development. Drinking window extends to 2032. This is what happens when terroir and meticulous viticulture meet reasonable pricing: classified growth quality without the speculation.

Antonio Galloni

"One of the standouts of the vintage, the 2015 Sociando Mallet is all finesse. Light on its feet, gracious and super-expressive, the 2015 speaks to class above all else. The flavors are bright and beautifully lifted in this polished, sophisticated Haut-Médoc. Although a touch light, the 2015 is very pretty. The blend is 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2015 Sociando Mallet is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc this year. It has a rather introspective bouquet, broody and earthy, although with aeration it reveals pleasant blackberry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, a little rustic and brutish at the moment with an abrasive finish that will hopefully soften by the time it is in bottle. I feel that this was just upended by the storms that swept across the region in September." —Neal Martin

Decanter

"There’s sightly more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, however the latter dominates the dense nose. This is outstanding even by Sociando’s own high standards: rich and robust, fleshy and concentrated; wonderfully generous fruit, with ripe tannins and a long finish. Drinking Window 2019 - 2032."

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Warm cassia and cherry paste flavors are carried by a light chalky spine, picking up flecks of savory and tobacco on the fresh finish. Shows nice typicity. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2022."

More about Chateau Sociando-Mallet

Sociando-Mallet is an unclassified estate which easily performs at a "cru classé" level, and even over certain 2nd and 3rd growth wines. If you dig the firm, gravelly style of left-bank Cabernet Sauvignon, you'll hard pressed to find a better value.
