2016- Vintage - red rim , turning brick, earth, undergrowth, cherry , spearmint , soft oak background - a great time to drink soft tannins, — 3 months ago
Poured into a decanter about 30min prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours alongside the 2017 La Migoua and 2019 La Tourtine. No formal notes. At this juncture, despite being the youngest, the 2020 “Lulu & Lucien” (formerly labeled as their standard Bandol Rouge) is the most open and freshest of the three. Delicious with traditional cassoulet. Definitely something that can be appreciated now through 2035. — 3 months ago
Tried this on a recommendation. Thought it was pretty balanced. Not too sweet & didn’t have a bitter bite on the back. Easy drinking! — 4 months ago

2020 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted after 3 hours open. Medium/medium-heavy body. Big cranberry, baking spice, plum and pomegranate nose + flavors. Expectedly intense and full throttle Much too young to exhibit any modicum of tea-like or earthy notes. Think we’re gonna hafta wait (at least) 15 years for those to creep in but it’ll be worth the wait. 4.23.26. — 7 days ago
