I was able to taste the 2016 Château Soutard-Cadet on three different occasions and it showed consistently, always rating 95 or 96 points. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, made from 57% of the total production and aged in new oak, it offers gorgeous amounts of crème de cassis, graphite, and ample minerality as well as subtle hints of chocolate and background smoky oak. Ripe, full-bodied, and powerful on the palate, it stays perfectly balanced and elegant, with a great finish. It’s a beautiful wine readers should snatch up and it’s going to keep for two decades or more.
