Lot #116. Sociando Mallet 2005

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 94 NM.
"The 2005 Sociando-Mallet is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc picked between September 19 and October 6. It has a very well defined bouquet of red currant, cranberry and wild strawberry fruit; pressed white flowers emerge later, along with a hint of truffle. The medium-bodied palate shows wonderful definition, good cohesion and a touch of spice and black pepper. The tannins are very fine and focused, and the finish fans out wonderfully. I remember being impressed with this out of barrel, and 13 years later it is seriously fulfilling its potential. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Sociando-Mallet." Vinous, Mar 2019
Provenance: The Conifère Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $750
