After introducing itself with a wonderful dark color, the nose is even more attractive with herbs and black fruit and that unmistakable Bandol funk. Tannins, although still present, have mellowed out and the overall balance in this wine is at its apogee in this phase of its life. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste but the abundance of fruit more than compensates this. Lovely wine.

Robe noire, impénétrable. Très joli nez expressif des l'ouverture de la bouteille. Herbes de Provence, laurier, fruits noirs. L'attaque est fraîche, sur un corps sérieux, dense. La note animale rappelle le cépage. Les tanins sont denses, présents, mais murs, savoureux. Très belle presence en bouche. Beau vin qui a une belle carrière devant lui.

Dark red color. Earthy and a bit herbal aromas. Tannic and broad shouldered. Still young. Very good for the price.

Plommer, tobakk, stein. Kjølig frukt og overaskende frisk.
