C’est très bon mais un poil trop puissant pour moi. Belle évolution mais le vin a encore une longue vie devant lui

Très bien, complexité, longueur, encore du fruit sur lequel viennent des notes de cuir, de garrigue

Pleasant surprise to find this on the co-op shelf at ~$30. Never heard of this producer, but good results. Entering it's peak maturity and should be nice for another 5-8yrs. Stewed raspberry and blackberry, szechuan peppercorn, black olives and beef. Moderate tannins and acidity, chalky finish. Just 5% each grenache and cinsault. 🫐🫒🍖

Wet earth, beef, stewed raspberries and blackberries. Not my favorite style but pretty good. I have had some good Mourvèdre before but this is a bit different. Dry chalky finish.

Organic Grenache, Mourvèdre Cinsault blend. Ray Jane went big on fruit. Mostly blackberry. Some menthol, licorice, pencil shavings. A little hot. But a solid effort.

1996. Smoother than most bandols. Some earthiness and some fruit. Grenache and Mourvèdre. We. Are enjoying it.

Super bueno... Bien mieux que ma dernière tentative (un 2002).
50 balles sur table. Ça pique quand même.

Mouarffff :(
Au nez, c'est un poil madérisé. (Mauvaise conservation? Coup de chaud en cave?)
En bouche, c'est encore un peu astringeant malgré les 14 ans.
À l'aveugle, je passais complètement à côté.
Pas vraiment agréable, j'en attendais bien bien plus.
