The vintage 1995 is a generous, racy wine with oak sublimely integrated into it. In general, Château Sociando-Mallet produces wines with a beautiful dark, deep colour. The nose is complex, offering aromas of black fruit, minerality and well-integrated oak. This wine gains harmony and complexity as it gets older. It shows freshness, uprightness and great length. This is a wine with very good ageing potential.
