Nice finish with limes and earth notes.

Ah Bandol. We don't go out together often enough. I love your aroma of garrigue and spice. . Of crushed berries and violets. Your muscle but earthy grounded ness. You don't overdo being big

Real old school Bandol. Smells like a horses ass. Dry slatey black fruit. Good stuff with food.
