September 26, 2018 - Very solid performance. Dark, bricking color. Aromas of dark fruit confit, with a hint of brush/spice. Well balanced and long. At peak.

February 11, 2017 - Meh. This was solid, but completely unspectacular. Plenty of bright red and dark fruit with some understated earth and leathery notes, but not much else going on here. Clean but lacking the mature/complex flavours I'd expect from a Bandol at this stage.

November 26, 2009 - Superb and archtypal pure Mourvedre Bandol, drinking just fabulously, right in the middle of secondaries, still young. Dark fruit, animale, leather, bonfire. Traditional, clean style.
