Château La Commanderie 2021 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The nose is finely grained and powerful. There are notes of pulpy raspberry, violet and more lightly lily combined with touches of grey pepper, pulpy wild red berries and a discreet hint of varietal aromas (in the background). The palate offers minerality, freshness, good definition, a certain juiciness, and a mineral spine. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, raspberry and more lightly of pulpy red berries combined with touches of fresh lilac, mulberry leaf as well as hints of fresh blond tobacco, a subtle hint of liquorice and a discreet touch of sweet spices. Good length. The tannins are mellow.
