February 4, 2012 - I think this wine ticks all the boxes. It is unusual, delicious and at its peak. Far from great but a really pleasant interesting glass

February 2, 2012 - I really like this wine. It has that slightly cooked element from the heat in Bandol but the Mourvedre copes with is so well. Lovely balance. Drinkable after popping the cork. Delicious
