2001 La Commanderie

A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a chunky St.-Emilion with black fruit, underbrush, and new oak characteristics as well as a medium-bodied, well-defined finish. This property should be producing better and better wines now that the talented Hubert de Bouard is La Commanderie’s consultant. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Jun 2004, www.robertparker.com
