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. — 12 days 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. — 9 days ago

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.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love Bandol! — 12 days ago

9.0

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fresh nose of red and black fruits with light spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing raspberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This Mourvèdre from Bandol is still very young, yet tasty and already enjoyable, even by itself.

Tannic, and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 81% Mourvedre, 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault and 2% Carignan. Aged in large oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40. — 8 days ago

WOW! After 30 yrs this Mourvèdre blend was absolutely delicious. Hadn’t moved it from my humble cellar sine purchased in 1998!
Mouth filling like ‘honeydew vine water. ( to quote the late JB). — 8 days ago
