This bottle likely got warm on the trip home. You can still discern that it is a Bandol, but it has a Sherry finish. Since I love the oxidize flavor of Sherry and other wines of that style, I enjoyed this wine very much for what it became, but not what it supposed to be.

3 years seems a lot for a rose even when the label carries the name Bandol. The firm structure remains, the peach, raspberry, lemon, lavendel, rosemary, pepper and some earthy notes but at the horizon a glimpse of sherry is entering the palate, which spoils this show a bit.’

Un très «Bon» rosé: une petite rondeur vous accueille d’entrée et laisse place à une tension minérale joliment acidulée, et naturelle… le finale presque crayeuse est superbe. Alors que j’avais trouvé les rosés en 2017 souvent un peu lourd, celui-ci m’a enchanté, malgré une certaine simplicité aromatique.

A dry rose with strong sherry flavors, as others have observed.

Delicious rose, lovely balance, fantastic with a caprese. One of the top Bandol rosés
