I’ve run out of superlatives for Command. This one has been a bit closed in past tries, but on this night it was a red velvet dessert whose sweetness was only suggested.

Even with 12 years under this one's belt, it still has some oomph. Blackberry cordial, dried fig, toasted marshmallow, dried violets.

Earthy with leather, plum, oak, prune, chocolate, and vanilla. Big and bold but silky smooth.

Beautifully youthful. Lots of plums and dark berries on the nose. The palate is smooth, big, bold, and holding up nicely. Plums and black pepper. Very nice.

So much oak, so little finesse. Just not my kind of wine.
