Lot presentation
Château la Commanderie 1988
The wine
A Pomerol of great quality. The average age of the vines (40 years), combined with exemplary vinification, enables the production of smooth, creamy, elegant wines. 24 months of barrel ageing (with 30% new wood), gives the Commanderie's wines an imposing tannic structure that improves after mellowing for a few years in the cellar.
