Decanted for 7h.
Nice aromatics of spices & leather. As expected, fruitless. Brilliant purity here with freshness & precision
Pure, austere & linear on the palate. With a firm tannic frame and brilliant, juicy acidity. Love the precision and the (firm) frame.
The complete opposite of plum & plush Languedoc or Rhone, but so nice.

Delicious summer drinking. Great with cheese and crackers while floating on the river. Notes of peach, a little bit of white flowers and grapefruit, and mineral on the tail. No bitterness that I sometimes find in (cheaper) rosé or Sauvignon blanc. — 5 months ago
After a breathe there’s a lot of citrus that subtly starts to introduce itself. Clean as can be, the bright and broadened nose brings along a luscious wallop to the palate. It’s kind of something to behold, and that will be noticed, frankly. Feels like a beautiful and luscious red, wrapped in the body of a voluptuous rose. There, I said it. It’s a full-bodied rose with joyous nuance to explore. — 2 months ago
One of my favorites from Provence, mineral but a juicy note with peach and strawberry, crisp and light — 2 months ago
Blend of 80% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache and 5% Cinsault, deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe dark fruits, dried herbs and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe black cherry and currants with black pepper, cacao and earth notes, vivid acidity nice structure. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and herb spice character. Good now. Will age! — 2 months ago
Racy with some grip, good fruit/mineral combo — 4 months ago
Needs to breathe. complex. I like it. tannins, but not heavy. — 2 months ago
Good but not my favorite style — 2 months ago
Every time this wine slaps. This time with more age underneath. A little more bruised, equally awesome.
Golden copper. Perfumed and waxy. Browning apple and apricot and smoky sandalwood incense in a sour saline solution. — 2 months ago
Mourvedre 100% — 2 months ago
This rosé is everywhere in Switzerland. I think it’s the 4th time I’ve had it. Got this bottle at the train station lol. Very concentrated. Strong acidity, strawberry and orange. Mouth watering finish with a touch of lavender and Provençal herbs. I can see why they like it so much here. Screams European summer (or après-ski on a sunny afternoon). Not fussy, but still elevated. — 3 months ago

"Odedi"
Purplish in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.
Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
