Sick nose. Leather, tobacco, cigar, forest, stones, juicy and dense but also light on its toes. That's the vintage. Still structured as Bandol is. Just delightful.

Star ansise, pepper, and spiced plum nose; tart black cherry, currant, cured meat, and venison jerky on the palate. Delicious.

Fantastique! Deep dark red & black fruit, garrigues, cured meat, Herbes Provençal, complex! A good amount of tannin left in spite of the vintage. This was brought all the way from Philly to me by someone very special! An unforgettable memory <3

Another wine to fuel my obsession on Bandol. It's getting extra points for showcasing that age.

this 2000 beauty is ready for your love and should only get better for the next 10+ years. nose of pomegranate, cigar, herbs, mushrooms and earth, with undertone of leather. intensely structured, yet elegant and well integrated, with acidity for the gods. aromas apparent on palate too, joined by cocoa, coffee and bay leaf. braise up some lamb shanks to serve with and heaven is yours.

Silky Mourvèdre...apparently it does exist.
