Bandol Red Blend 2018

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

Le Château Syrah Cabernet Franc 2012

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

Domaine Notre Dame des Pallières

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2018

Slightly funky fermented flower nose -

A thick and juicy wine - easy to get into - hefty, with black cherry, dark berry blend, pinch of anise, pepper. Cherry skin tannins, with a zesty acidic overture.
An excellent wine!
