October 23, 2020 - Decanted for 1.5-2h. Brambly aromas with ripe blackberries, just ripe blueberries, a good dose of herbs and earth. Palate with brambles, blackberries, unripe blueberries, stems, earth and a bit of tar. The acids nicely balance the fruit and weight of the wine. Hearty but complex. Highly enjoyable. 92+

Dry, marked tannins, still not fully resolved. A wine of great complexity, challenges the mind. This will evolve further and has the potential to become grand vin. Always a pleasure to open a Pradeaux.

May 8, 2017 - This bottle was not at its peak, could have been slightly flawed. Too much oak and no fruit.

July 2, 2016 - Fantastic nose with humidor, sandalwood, honeysuckle and lavender. The fruit is a little thin to start with, but improves a few hours of air. Plum, red meat and thyme. Ready to drink, but needs a long decant

February 21, 2016 - Like the last one, a very successful example of Pradeaux, which is in its prime. Quite full-bodied, with good garrigue strawberry fruit, herbs and a touch of spice, well-balanced and with a long, lingering finish. Probably good value at auction, especially compared to Bordeaux of a similar age, it has the body and grip to improve further and certainly last another decade.

2/12/2006 (link)(Chateau Pradeaux Bandol) This was showing great. Beautiful nose of leather, dried roses, minerals & black fruits. Very animal and barnyard too. Palate had great black fruits and a nice stony minerality. Tannins were big but very well rounded and surpirsingly accessible. Long finish. Chewy wine but had fantastic earthiness and minerality. I am surpised it was this open as the Longue Garde is a rock now.
