Chateau La Commanderie, Pomerol 2017	90 Decanter Violet-rimmed plum color, good freshness that ensures a juicy character to the sappy autumnal fruit, with clear pencil lead giving St Estèphe typicity, along with the layers of plentiful tannins. A good choice, not overly polished. 90 James Suckling Sweet currant and berry aromas with some flowers follow through to a medium body, with firm tannins and a fine finish. Subtle and polished. Drink after 2023.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet

Chateau La Commanderie, Pomerol 2020	93 James Suckling Ripe yet very fresh fruits on the nose. Lots of plums, blueberries, dark cherries, sweet baking spices and dark mushrooms. Juicy and pretty linear with a medium body on the palate, showing lovely vibrancy and fruit with tight yet silky tannins. Quite long and really well-balanced, delivering lots of immediate appeal. Already delicious, but will hold well. 93 Decanter Blueberry and blackberry pastilles on the nose here, a seam of sweetness running through the fruit. Has some pretty fresh acidities that almost bite on the attack but settles into itself in the glass, and has a supple sense of forward motion. Attractive, appealing, a floral edge that becomes evident on the finish. A yield of 40hl/ha. Pascal Chatonnet consultant. 70% new oak.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
