2001 20-years on Commanderie dinner. Lovely, classic Medoc nose with dark fruit and underbrush, nice and complex. The palate is elegant but cannot fully follow-up as it is noticeably thin on the mid palate.

Same notes as before, but the wine was a bit better. Maybe a bit more depth, not as thin tasting. But still some fruit … cassis, and berries. Acidity waning a bit so the fruit comes across as a touch flatter/fatter.

Good colour, some sediment. Shy on the nose but still get some red berry fruits, cassis, earthiness, and smooth silky tannins . Nothing is overt, everything in balance. I just wish there was more body to the mid palate to finish …. seems a bit thinner now. But still smooth and easy going.

Rather dark in colour, nose of earthy, leathery fruits, rich and dense on the palate!
