Almost light and airy with great flavours which come through on the finish. Well balanced and fresh, paired well with cold seafood salad. (1924 views) | | | Tasted by MattTM on 11/3/2012: Commanderie de Bordeaux: Gala Dinner (Fairmont Pacific Rim - Vancouver, BC): Beautiful nose on this with a strong showing of that smokey gravel character often found in Graves, along with lots of fresh lemon, charred oak, crushed rocks, and bitter papaya seeds. Quiet tropical on the palate yet continuing on with the smokey character of the nose, now showing some passion fruit, more papaya, along with lemon oil, charred oak, and kiwi. Great crisp acidity accents the palate and brings a nice balance to this wine. Long length finish ending on notes of tart lemon juice and charred oak. Quite enjoyable, this was my first time trying this wine and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Very good.

Palate was quite similar in profile to the nose with papaya, lemon, smoke and toasty oak with great acidity and a fresh and tart citrus finish. Smooth texture with fresh and lively mouthfeel. This paired fantastically with the scallop course. Excellent. (3088 views) | | | Tasted by rwf on 10/7/2010 & rated 89 points: Aroma of tropical fruit, butter and nuts. Medium-high acidity, dry, medium body. Flavours of kiwi fruit, lime and almond. Good length, no alcohol burn - just very refreshing.

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon Rimmerman |
