Espresso, chocolate, licorice, and floral nuances mesh with the medium-bodied, forward, creamy, chocolate-coated, black cherry, licorice, mint, and oak-touched palate. If the oak is eaten by the fruit, this could be quite good. Drink from 2027-2037. 89-91 Pts.

Showing much better in the bottle than it did in barrel, the wine is supple, creamy, fresh and silky with layers of chocolate, cherries, plums, and spices. Medium-bodied, vibrant and elegant, the wine leaves you with more of those gorgeous, supple red cherries that you cannot get enough of. This is already a treat in your glass, but a few more years of aging will add more secondary nuances. Drink from 2023-2040.

Already open, medium bodied, fresh and juicy, the fruit offers lift and sweetness and plenty of juice in the finish. This is clearly the best vintage of La Commanderie ever produced!

Forward, medium bodied and already deceptively ready to drink, the soft textured, red fruits, licorice and floral character stands out. The wine can age for a decade or longer, but it's easy to enjoy this charmer on release.
