Bandol, Provence, France
A little whiff of band aid on the nose. The fruit is still bright and quite young. In good shape

Oct 1st, 2018Dark fruit. Aged but still very fresh fruit with dried herb notes and dark fruit underpinning it. Very good

It’s been a good decade between these but this hasn’t missed a beat. This was savoury, earthen and loaded with personality - 2015

Sep 7th, 2018Happy Mother’s Day! Much like our son, this wine has a long and happy life ahead of it. But, also not unlike Asher, I ran out of patience. I mean, just look at that brooding inky violet going on in the glass. Still mostly locked down under a stone-faced countenance but a little air coaxes out some dark berries, leather, herbs, lavender and a hint of that famous animalistic quality. This probably gains another half point in a decade or so

May 13th, 2018Such a baby! Felt like a travesty to drink so young, but this was gorgeous nonetheless.

Furry, feral and full of hairy complexity.

The next to last bottle of several cases purchased from Kermit in the early 90's (ah.... the 90's). what a great experience to have all of them over 20 or so years, this wine is still fantastic! I don't think it will ever give up.... That being said, I had many corked bottles in that cache. still, it's been an education.... first rate! La Tourtine
