Byob. Took about an hour to open up. Make sure you give it this amount of time. It needs it. Beautiful. Like a plush rug you curl up in. It wraps around your tongue that way. Smokey, dried fruits and tapenade. — 10 years ago

Vino de capa baja, en nariz fresas pimientas y levadura. En boca estructura tanino y acidez en su justa medida, un vino para guardar y ver evolución. — 11 years ago

Really good. I might manage a coherent rating after we stop yelling at the cat for spilling a glass of it all over the rug. This is why our rugs are red. — 9 years ago

The 2009 has yet to hit its stride yet. Oriental rug, tomato leaf, and deep red fruit on the nose. Fine-grained tannins and sour cherries follow on the palate. A very good acidity, too. — 11 years ago

Rather ripe on the nose for a Bandol, with characteristic wild herbaceousness. Plenty of musky odors, however, like bearskin rug. Smooth on the mouthfeel, rather than gritty and tannic as these wines can sometimes be, packed with lavender and garrigue. There's a long, musky finish that reminds me of a goat pen, with a little peppery sharpness and unripe black berries. — 10 years ago

Gamey and peppery! The nose smells like fennel and clove lain across a moist bearskin rug. The wine has a speckled, sedimented appearance that sits like raspberry jam in a glass. The flavors are of blackberry, garrigue, licorice, truffle, loads of pepper, game, and clove, with a long-lasting kirsch and mushroomy forest floor finish. Very interesting. Not quite like any wine I've had. Could have more fruit - perhaps a product of the "off" vintage. — 10 years ago

You wake up in the house you used to live in, the colours both de- and super-saturated at the same time. You stumble down the stairs, and the feel of the red shag rug under your feet (where did that come from?) is the best. That feeling in you chest? Joy.  — 12 years ago
