So good but needs a long decant to smooth out and show up. This still has tooth-coating, dusty tannins and salty acidity but shows a lovely velvety texture with excellent intensity and grip. There are delicious flavors of dark fruits, coal dust, tar and garrigue spices and it tastes of the sun and the sea. Such a classic wine that feels almost ageless.

Wonderful vintage of this wine! It needs a good hour or two open for the tannins to soften and then it shows delicious violet/dark cherry fruit with a velvety texture and a classically dry and dusty Bandol finish. There are lovely accents of garrigue spice and sweet tobacco. Hard to stop drinking it.
