Bandol Mourvedre Blend

In a great place

The fruit is more advanced than I was hoping but there’s plenty of vigorous length and structure

Gamy, leathery and earthy. Somehow quite sweet on the finish. All dried blackfruits.

Vintage 2014 | Blind tasted. Só playful! With this wine I was fooled myself... thought it to be a Cru de Beaujolais, because it was expressive and frivolous.

This one was already drinking far better than expected (half bottle). great with a rich meal and plenty of lovable fruit.

Always a fav. First taste of 2015 vintage, nice balance for the year, extraction is deft and carries some finesse to it. As usual, complex, layered, full of goutte de terroir. Layers of cherry from crushed to soaked, slight hint of prune, raspberry confiture, game, fur, roast beef, juniper, forest and cedar, pure garrigue, licorice root, ceylon cinnamon, chaparral, powdered sugar, 5 spice, singed tobacco, graphite, bitter cocoa. Still taut, the tannins need time to relax, but I think they will always have persistence in the wine. Ok with me.

Dried raisiny fruit, smoky and leathery. Smooth but a bit clipped. Time to drink up

Nice Bandol.

Great body and texture, nice snap to hold it all together. No notes really, drank with roast chicken like it was water, which seems like the appropriate thing to do with this wine

Drinking beautifully in a 1/2 bottle . Rich and velvety with licorice notes and spicy notes. Love
