2005 Château de Pibarnon Bandol

Community Tasting Note

89 Points

Sunday, July 17, 2016 - I purchased 7 bottles in 2008 hoping this would be a break out Bandol wine. Unfortunately it was not. This is a decent wine no doubt but it did not deliver what the critics thought (no surprise I guess).

I don't have notes from my first few bottles because it was unremarkable and needed more time.

Decanted for 40 minutes and the nose displayed back fruits and forest floor. Slight bricking, very minimal but the age is starting to emerge.

On the palate the fruits are still primary but starting to fade. Black cherry, blueberry, wet forest and a slight green edge.

I will enjoy my remaining bottles but sorry to see that this did not pan out as I had hoped.
