Monday, January 21, 2013 - La Commanderie de Bordeaux à Vancouver - 2003 Left Bank Dinner (Bistro Pastis): This was very forward with a creamy and ripe nose of black and blue fruits, spice and hint of floral. Big, soft and supple mouthfeel with sweet dark fruit flavours, oak and a touch of spice. There’s decent acidity here which adds some lift to the round and warm profile along with ripe but drying tannins. Some heat on the finish as well. A decent drink but this doesn’t show a lot of Margaux typicity and, for my tastes, borders on being too ripe. Drink or hold. Good.
