A more than competent effort was turned in by Sociando-Mallet in 1993. The wine possesses a dense ruby/purple color, a surprisingly evolved, forward, cedary, black-cherry, currant, and mineral-scented nose, spicy, fleshy flavors that exhibit excellent texture, and, for this chateau, a beguiling suppleness for its youthfulness. Jean Gaudreau obviously handled the potential difficulties of the 1993 vintage in a successful manner. This wine should drink well for 5-10 years.
