Domaine Lou Capelan Cuvée Seraphin Bandol Rouge 2022, Provence, France
Fresh red berries on the nose with spices and dark chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates and licorice.
Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This Mourvedre from Bandol is still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Spicy and chocolatey.
A little hot at the back of the throat at the moment, but that should go away with more bottle time.
Would be nice to revisit it in 10 years and see how it evolves.
A good food wine.
A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache, from 50 year old vines. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$35.
