Peppy. This wine is almost too damn peppy but that’s only a downfall if you open it at one in the morn. It’s...okay I’ll be technical. Eye: rather pale pink hint o orange medium tears/legs. Sniff it and pink grapefruit, tangerine, wet rocks and seashells and a hint of mixed greens say hey. Sip: medium everything—acid alcohol (checked it is 13.5 almost high but not!) body intensity and the palate is equal to the nose except more minerally. With a hint more of herb and some flowers may be blossoming in there. Damn I am a fan of Bandol. It keeps you dancing.

Pretty Provence nose. Structured palate with strawberries, herbs, mineral, a bit of salami fat, dusty tannin. Great sleek texture and long finish with hints of citrus. This is a softer Bandol rosé but still has that structure and verve. It'll open up in a few months but this isn't Pradeaux structure (whole bunch fermentation as opposed to just the fruit for l'Olivette).
