A big, backstrapping, masculine style of wine, the 2011 Soutard exhibits a healthy blue/purple color along with notes of damp earth, blackberries, plums and hints of toasty oak, forest floor and underbrush. This attractive, deep, chewy St.-Emilion possesses moderately high tannins and good acidity. It will require 3-5 years of cellaring after its release, and should keep for two decades.
