Summer’s here, and the time is right.. — 13 days ago
Aromas of leather, tree bark and black fruits. A rich and powerful ultra savoury wine with ripe black fruits, a dash of black pepper and fading raspberry- silky intensity. Works perfectly with BBQ Lamb Chops. Still going strong at 18 years from a good year in Bandol. The following night - consistent notes. Predominantly Mourvèdre in the blend together with Grenache and Cinsault I believe but not sure of the exact percentages. In 2004 it was 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. — 15 days ago

Great Rosé but not as good as other vintages. Light flavor and lots of vanilla, but strawberry flavor is thin. Good value at $65. — a month ago
Red fruits on the nose with earth notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, earth, light wood, light mushrooms, spices and peppercorn.
Tannic and still young, with nice complexity.

Crisp, nice acidity. Watermelon & tart cherry. Perfect summer rose! — 11 days ago
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

White flowers, strawberry, rhubarb, white peach. Medium bodied with structured acidity. Lovely on a hot day but has enough heft to pair well with salmon pasta. — an hour ago
