Interesting to compare this Mourvèdre from its spiritual home of Bandol with the same grape from d’Arenberg in McLaren Vale tasted a day ago. This has the garrigue type aromas expected, of Lavender and Thyme with a little Rosemary. Much of this grows around the vineyards in Provence and Bandol. Rich and flavoursome - berry fruits and some gaminess. 10/10 for the nose - loved it. This is textbook Mourvèdre probably only matched by Domaine Tempier. This is the 6th of 6 bottles I purchased 10 years ago, and the best.

Crimson with paler edge. Notes of lavender blueberry and chocolate. Palate of berry - hint of tar and black tea. Medium bodied at best. 90% Mourvèdre 10% Grenache from the Mediterranean coast - Bandol.

Continuing with the Mataro theme, this time with a Bandol rouge from Provence. 90% Mourvèdre , 10% Grenache. Meaty savoury notes with some ash and rusticity. Sweet, medium weight palate. Will cellar for a while yet. Satisfying and well made. 18-
