Worth the pro rating average 9.5. I thought.....really?...but yes. Going back to buy a case. Pencil and cinnamon and wonderful. I think we should go back to Bandolier to drink more.

Amazing reasonably priced bandol. Lots of rose petals in the nose, semi-tannic but surprisingly smooth finish. I like this one!

Suffrene's entry is sometimes a bit slick and spit polished but this bottling (and it's slight age) is showing pure, feral Mourvèdre. Full of cured meat, animal, black pepper and supportive fruit.

Earthy, dank, perfect acid for a great fatty steak. Highest recommendation.

Meaty amber Bandol with a bite. Not light porch ponder but fantastic with risotto, seafood and fowl. Great transition wine between rose and dinner.

Power with finesse with violette, liquorice notes and a great depth. Need a good hour to open up.
