deep, brooding baby bandol that shines like amethyst for the price of quartz. subtle balm of oil cured kalamata olive, dried blackberry, cured beef and leather draw your nose deep into the glass. the palate delivers what the nose promises, joined by bay leaf, oregano and dank earth, framed by chewy tannin and understated acidity. sublime with braised lamb and root vegetables. #bandol #mourvedre

Heavy and medicinal. Smells of prunes. Reminds me of Port but without the fortification. Drinkable, but might mellow with a bit more time in the bottle.

Deep, spicy, earthy, funky. Dark fruit and olives. Medium bodied with high tannins and tobacco.

Strawberries, pepper, and a touch of funk. Slightly tannic.
