Mineral and blueberry character with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Refined style of Sociando with firm backbone. Needs a little more fruit in the mid-palate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2012
The 2011 may turn out to be even better than the 2009 Sociando Maillet. Its opaque purple color is not unusual for a young Sociando Maillet, but the creme de cassis, graphite and floral characteristics impressively saturate the olfactory senses. Medium to full-bodied with excellent purity, texture and length as well as remarkably sweet tannins, this wine should drink nicely for 10-15 years.
Roland Hankerson, JJ Buckley, April 2012
55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 5% cabernet franc, and the balance petit verdot on more than 50 hectares of gravelly soils, with. The property sits right on the Gironde, just to the north of St. Estephe. Average vine age is 30+ years. Deep purple in color, heady dark fruit dominates the bouquet, which is accompanied by earthy, gravelly tones. Medium-bodied, the black fruit flavors are supple and approachable. Good balance. Enjoy a couple of years after release and over the following 7-12 years.
