93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2010 Sociando-Mallet is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc picked between September 24 and October 15. There is initially a touch of reduction, although that soon blows away to reveal attractive blackberry, briar, cigar box and dried herb/scorched earth scents that blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with well-integrated oak, supple tannin, well-judged acidity and a smooth, sensual finish (unusual for this property!) This is a great Sociando-Mallet destined for long-term aging. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Sociando-Mallet. Drink: 2022-2040. (Mar 2019)"

90 points Decanter: "Lifted aromas of eucalyptus and menthol, with an initial attack of juicy dark fruit - but this drops on the mid-palate, and the tannins still feel a touch drying. Needs more time. Drinking Window: 2019-2029. (Oct 2018)"
