Really nice little Bandol, a little scratchy wool on the palate at first but after some time open the warm fruit started to shine through. Drinking well already but some time on it’s side will do it good.

Good wine—smoky, woody nose with fresh black fruit. On the one hand, the wine doesn’t hide its high alcohol, but on the other hand it’s well integrated—as are its tannins. Palate was a nice balance of savory and sweet—game and wood with brambly black fruit and raspberry. Nevertheless I do feel the wine would be better in a few years.

This was a great surprise - opened only 3.5 years after vintage but tasted fantastic - soft tannins and super fruit. Great value in Waitrose sail at only around £11! Now out of stock :-(

What a pleasant surprise. This is supple, medium bodied, Rhone, with soft tannins, oak, plums, cassis and vanilla. An excellent QPR.

Can obviously keep and improve for years, but this vintage already has great balance and taste
