Compared to the 2002 Pibarnon, this has much more character, this is vraiment Bandol. Rustic in the good sense of the word, notes of animal farm and leather, dark fruit and spices and earthy notes. Good complexity now, tertiary notes but this will last a good amount of years more.

Mature colour, nose iron and garrigue, fleshy at first on palate but dry tannins kick in on finish. Good but lacks the depth and interest of the best Bandol

Cellartracker is so cool. It is great to read how other people think about and process a wine. Often much better than the polished critic comments. Thoroughly enjoyed this wine. It is distinctive, being a little syrupy and stewed almost like an amarone in texture. Good thick dark blue fruit which is subdued by well cloaked tannins. Medium weight.

From magnum. From a lighter vintage which makes this more accessible at 10 years of age. A nose of tobacco, leather, animal fur and dark plums. Nicely mature and complex palate. Jesper compares this to mature Bordeaux. At BBQ/pool party chez Jesper and Maria at Mandlieu.

三天喝掉,有一点渣子。第一天刚开始的funk比较明显,酒体中/轻。酸涩适度。后半,鼻子,口中和谐统一。第二天,接近第一天后半,不需要食物,cheese。单喝就很balanced。最好的一天。第三天,funk,不和谐 strong。口中有点heat。稍凉一下,变成了完全不同的酒,funkynose消失,酒体变轻,口味变淡。
第一瓶aged Mourvèdre.
