Deceivingly medium bodied, but I guess like most Bandols needs air to really strut its stuff. Deep red fruits and dark brambly on nose; on palate more black & ripe cherries, & that Provençal garrique herb blend in the background. Quite accessible at six years of bottle age. My second bottle & consistent with first. Not the first word on complexity but not the last either…. — 8 months ago

Wild berry, rhubarb, cherry, crushed stone, spice and great acid. Amazing with a ribeye. — 3 months ago

Intense deep raspberry aromas. This bottle was open for two days before I tried it. (Leftover from a party I was not at.). Didn’t taste oxidized at all, was actually surprisingly fresh for a quarter of a bottle left. Quite tannic even though it was 10 years old, though integrated and resolving. Would be curious what a fresh bottle will be like in a few more years. — 2 years ago
Gift from GHP. I enjoyed the smooth muted tannins in this, probably a product of bottle age. Still pretty high acid! Enjoyable. — 6 months ago
