Château Prieurs de la Commanderie - Pomerol 2018 (750ml)

The 2018 Château Prieurs de la Commanderie from Pomerol offers Bordeaux excellence without the extravagant price tag. Crafted by a team including Yann Monties of Haut-Bailly fame and with consultation from Jean-Luc Thunevin, this wine embodies greatness. Polished and pedigreed, it's a Merlot blend, characterized by its brooding dark fruit. Medium bodied, firm tannins, and a finish featuring white pepper notes add depth. In the glass, it presents a dusty garnet color and exudes enticing aromas and flavors of mocha, toasty pistachio, and berry tart. The palate offers a captivating blend of chocolate cherries and orange peel, cocoa powder, vanilla nuts, delicate spices, and cedar, all supported by silky, soft, dusty tannins and a touch of oak.
