  April 18, 2024 - I like rustic, old school Bandol, so I enjoyed this very much. Tasty and contemplative.

  February 7, 2024 - Final btl of this on a cold rainy night. It's alright. Still a bit disjointed. This one starts with a slug of cherry jam but then quickly comes a bitterness and rusticity, olives, prunes, and a then dollop of EtOH heat. A bit dried out. Should be drunk up. It is recognizable as a Bandol, although a far cry from Dm Tempier.

  October 17, 2023 - More like the JULY 21 bottle than the DEC 21 one. Very rustic, reminiscent of an old school Hemingway-style Cahors. Dark, bitter, sort of dirty. Works well on a cool evening. I can feel my chest hairs growing...

  July 14, 2022 - Overly rustic a bit too secondary

  May 1, 2022 - Not very refined but a balanced, delicious, and deep wine. Thyme, cardamom, dark cherry, and dark chocolate notes with leather in the mouth. The tannins are assertive but not rough. The acidity neither prominent nor deficient. Mourvedre tertiary character is evident. Could age longer with cool storage.
