Château Soutard 2020

Another gorgeous wine from this estate, the 2020 Château Soutard offers the fresh, pure, lively style of the vintage beautifully as well as offering ample red, blue, and black fruits, notes of graphite, crushed stone, and violets, seamless tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. This is elegance paired with power, and it’s going to benefit from just 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 20+. Bravo! Score – 95-97. (jebdunnuck.com, May 23, 2021)
