這支1985年出自Haut-Médoc的Sociando-Mallet，成熟而有力，酒體深沉，黑色水果、雪茄盒般的雪松香與泥土氣息交織。口感飽滿，層次分明：黑莓與暗紅果實先行，隨後浮現皮革、香料與礦物感，橡木與酸度已和諧融入，單寧經年變得圓潤但仍有骨架。酒莊以傳統手法釀造：整片園以人工採收，果串小心運抵酒窖；以本地天然酵母發酵，採用不鏽鋼與混凝土恆溫發酵槽並每日浸皮（pumping over），最後在橡木桶陳年約12個月。飲用時建議小心醒酒，配上紅肉、野味或熟成起司效果最佳，適合喜歡經典波爾多風味與成熟風格的酒迷。
A mature, classic Haut-Médoc from Château Sociando-Mallet showing a deep, dark colour and a bouquet of concentrated black fruit, cedar and earth. On the palate it is full-bodied with layered flavours of cassis, leather and spice, framed by well-integrated oak and a mineral thread. Decades in bottle have softened the youthful vigour into balanced structure and a long, savory finish. Producer notes highlight traditional vinification using native yeasts, temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats, daily pump-overs during fermentation, and 12 months ageing in oak. The grapes are hand-harvested into small crates to preserve fruit integrity. Best enjoyed with rich red meats, game or mature cheeses; decant carefully to separate any sediment and allow the complex tertiary aromas to open.
