Bandol Mourvedre Blend

Gamy. Earthy but with loads of body. 14.5%. Long finish. Excellent.

I’ve never had a wine that changed so dramatically with each sip. This does. Give it air, decant the hell out of it, just know the bass notes will deepen and amplify. Beautiful.

Oh heck the developement that happens when air contact happens and also just time. This is so much cherries and plums..and so many herbs up in this

Domaine rests atop a limestone plateau in Le Brûlat du Castellet, in the northwestern corner of the A.O.C. Bandol. Hocquard family has been farming this land since 1968, currently run by Agnès Henry. Tried ‘14 &’15 together. A blend of about 75% Mourvèdre with the rest Grenache, Cinsault & Carignan. Deep red with dark berry fruit and spice aromas. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black pepper & herb spice. Fine tannins, lingering with a fragrant ending. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample.

Dusty, dark, tannic

Cold evening! Bandol is rich, full Mourvèdre. This is tannic, alcoholic yet fresh and fruity. A good bone warmer on a cold night!

Deep and dark - the night is young still

Brett bomb extraordinaire, good stuff underneath but you'd need a jackhammer to get to it.
