Commanderie (Saint Emilion) other_regions_italy An expressive and more deeply

An expressive and more deeply pitched nose offers up plenty of earth character on the spiced plum and dark currant aromas that are also trimmed in just enough wood to notice

ripe black plums and warm cassis plus hints of tilled earth

intense and muscular medium weight plus flavors that possess very fine power and only a touch of backend rusticity on the mouth coating and impressively long finish

mint and white pepper

half new and half used for two prior wines
