Can't decide if this wine is complex or confusing. Lovely nose opens up to strong hints of olive and pencil shavings. Nice fruit and earthiness hits the palate, but it seems like a cab sometimes, other sips resemble a bold chateauneuf, and other times like a great Bandol. All that being said, it's quite lovely!

So much better on the second day. Mouvedre and spice makes everything nice. Merry Christmas!

A chunky, rich Bandol with just the right amount of pepper, barnyard, and dark fruit. Smooth but still with structure and finesse.
