"Deep and refined nose, with blackcurrants, cocoa powder and plenty of graphite. A more complete Sociando-Mallet here, with full body and tight-wound, chalky tannins. Powerful but really tensioned and long. 53% merlot, 46% cabernet sauvignon and 1% cabernet franc. Drink from 2027. From a vertical tasting at the winery. - Zekun Shuai (Senior Editor)"
