Tasted next to 2015. Nicely evolved on the nose, notes of cedar, spices, tobacco. Rather soft on the palate, not much grip, decent acidity, a bit simple but well balanced. Drink (or keep). 88-90

Commanderie de Bordeaux tasting/dinner. Medium garnet. Nose of dark fruit with some forresty tones. Soft and mature to drink. Lacking a bit of depth and mid palate strength.

Deep ruby in color, Flowery nose, toasted herbs! Smooth on the palate with mouthful of red fruits, at this point, this is less tannic than vintage 2009
