The wine is slightly tawny. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like leather, red currant, fig and tobacco. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. Les tannins sont bien fondus. Lovely fruit despite age.

Soutard 2001 - St Emilion Grand Cru Classe - This would have to be one of my favourites this year. This is on a pure limestone plateau which was one of the smoothest softest wines this is right up there. This has a hauntingly elegant nose and when you drink it it feels like it evapourates in the mouth. The body and richness is there and it leaves a finish of 20-30 second which takes this wine to another level of complexity.

Past it's prime but still drinkable. Not much fruit left and mostly vegetables and minerals. The more I drink it, the better it seems to get.

Still drinking great. Honestly think it has 5-10 more years. Sad it’s my last bottle
