Wow. What a wine. I love this Crozes. Nose is full of pepper, grilled meats, blackberry, black raspberry, dark blueberry and lots of crushed granite. Just awesome. Mashed violets now with air. Palate is rich yet energetic with terrific precision and silky depth. Juicy and full of black fruits and crushed granite. Needs air but wonderfully elegant palate with really high quality tannins. Needs air. Air has helped. More lacey and complete. — 3 months ago
Star of a two Bandol night, but this at age 14( minus a week or two). Deeper, plush, black violet & cassis nose; on palate tannins really nicely integrated, wild blackberries, more cassis & black currants. Crazy elegant and generous. Feels open. Distant notes of some kind of bark & forest floor. Older wild flowers.Eye opener, in sense of how far Bandol can go for me. — 5 months ago

Love the perfume in the glass after you let it sit a bit. Very fruit forward but somewhat darker cherry than you would expect. Really love this Polinot! — 3 months ago
Great $28 bottle. Cherry finish as the name suggests with a coffee and leather finish. Really delicious. — 6 months ago

Base champagne of Dhondt Grellet. I get a beautiful balanced nose suggesting a very high end champagne. On the palate I get that vinous quality of still wine popping through. Brioche, yeasty, bread. The bubbles are a bit course and edging towards harshness and that brings me to the rest of the palate where there is plenty acidity but also a bit thin.
A base champagne that is definitely punching above it's weight!
