1985 CHATEAU PRADEAUX BANDOL- Mourvedre; no typical musty, rustic notes here for aged Mourvedre, this was all about tasty pleasure; following the great aromatics, the taste profile included nicely spiced and peppered lightly sweetened black cherry/ berry fruit which persisted throughout the entire experience and it was an experience.

Nez de Châteauneuf, mais bouche qui fait bordelaise, ce qui m'a enligné sur Bandol. Étonnant pour un vin du sud avec ce côté sérieux, jeunesse insolente.

Souper à l'Os avec Gaël, Ludwig et Alain: Un nez d'épices, de viande et de cuir qui évoquait un vieux Châteauneuf. Mais la finale est minérale et droite, mine de crayon, quasi bordelaise. Austère, droit, un vin intellectuel. Bonne vigueur, peu de charme, mais très intéressant. 88-89 pts

Fun wine. Pure red fruits don't suggest Mourvedre at all. Still very tannic of the firmer grape rather than wood variety - these actually dominate the finish. A bit simple, but definitely enjoyable.

Full, seamless, smooth. Steady over 3 hrs. First impression - pleasant tobacco, berry fruit. A wonderful experience.
