Sweet purple fruit. Fresh and quite sharp. Tough and dry. Very sour finish. (JR)

The 2010 is a big, muscular, masculine style of wine with a dense ruby/purple color and loads of blue and black fruits intermixed with vanillin and crushed rock. It is full-bodied and powerful, with lots of tannin. Patience is definitely required, but I suspect this wine will be accessible in 6-7 years, yet capable of lasting a quarter-century or more. There is never a question about the tannic ferocity of most vintages of Soutard, but the new owners seem to be capturing more of the fruit and trying to give the wine more early appeal without sacrificing its legendary longevity.
Dense, heavy, high acid. Awkwardly assembled. Tough, harsh. (RH)
Soutard Using 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this medium bodied, licorice, earth and black raspberry tinged wine offers soft textures and a black cherry finish. winecellarinsider.com
