Domaine Comte Abbatucci

Faustine Vieilles Vignes Sciacarello Nielluccio 2020

9.2

Spicy, light, fresh yet with quite some character. Fresh red fruit (strawberries & cherries) with a spice undercore.
On the palate this is light yet with presence and a nice tannic frame. I wasn’t expecting this fragility, but it’s really nice. And despite the lightness this has presence and character.
A lovely wine! — 12 days ago

Best rosé I ever had in my life. Also the most expensive one 🤣 totally another ballgame than the rosé wines I’m used to drink. This is complex, juicy and made for food — 2 months ago

Excellent winemaker. Their rosé is my favourite. And the main Bandol Mourvèdre is always a winner in my book.

@Raun Kupiec I visited them this summer. Very good quality and indeed, their rosé is fabulous. I also bought the Chateau Pibarnon 2019 which I will be opening soon

I was there about 10 years ago. Beautiful spot up in the hills. Rang the bell at the door. And they were really nice and talkative as we tasted.

9.5

At 20 years top wines needs to be in a good place. Not a fan of 20+ aging - for reds. AND? Excellent cork. Some oxidation. Brown tinge. Plenty of tannins left - give it 10 min at least!!! Tobacco, plums, peaches? Rust. Touch orange juice. Hint oregano. Really coats your mouth. Incredibly mellowed out. Plenty of acid. COMPLEX. A little rustic - not elegant but bold and big. This is what Pommard should be classic. World class for Pommard. To keep this longer would be nuts - drink up! What a wine! — 2 months ago

CV pre dinner tasting. Color lighter than Gavi but nose shows oxidative notes melon ripe fruits. Softer texture roundness on palate. Long grippy finish that’s unexpected. Two more bottles to try. CV second bottle, less oxidative and fresher nose and palate. Upping to 9 — a month ago
