Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 15, 2014 - Magnum. Medium ruby throughout. Nasty mix of brett, sharp white pepper, and camphor on the nose-not very promising. Strangely enough, this funk did not show up on the palate, although I braced myself with each sip. In contrast, medium to full bodied with quite robust dark fruit that seemed very fresh for 21 year old Bandol. Just a tad of mustiness on the finish. Sort of a crazy quilt of a wine with funny juxtapositions of aromas and flavors. In the end, more interesting than enjoyable, although it actually was enlivened by a lamb dish with Provencale spicing.
