Tasting Notes:
波爾多傳奇酒莊，列級莊水準及陳年能力，名釀物值之選；最細緻、嚴格的釀酒工藝帶來深色果實融合礦物氣息的複雜口感，飽滿純正，回味持久
A superb vintage with meticulous perfection; concentrated essence of dark fruits with some underlying minerality, a medium to full-bodied and stunning texture, length and purity
Other Reviews:
Always one of the most ageworthy and backward wines of Bordeaux, Sociando Mallet could be described as the poor man’s version of Latour or Montrose. Based on the still painfully young bottles of the 1975 and 1982 in my cellar, the 2005 will undoubtedly last for 30-40 years. It exhibits graphite, black currant liqueur, smoke, and toast characteristics, zesty acidity, huge tannins, and equally massive concentration and extract. From a proprietor who consistently transcends his pedigree, it is a beauty of purity and symmetry. 93+ points
