The color is shiny black, purple. On the palate, the wine is powerful, concentrated, dark, and deep, with multiple layers of chocolate-coated plums, blackberries, licorice and spice. The wine is sensuous, opulent, and rich. The finish allows you to linger with all of its layers of chocolate and black fruits. This could be the finest vintage of Soutard ever produced! 76% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% whole-bunch, fermented Malbec makes the blend. Drink from 2026-2047. 94-96 Pts.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Fresh plums, a little sweet oak spice, touch of fruit concentrate, slightly meaty underpin, juicy medium plus intensity acidity, fresh plums on the palate as well, tannins are woody and slightly coarse but in support. Simple. Okay.
