This was not my favorite bottle of Bandol Rosé. Kind of bitter with not enough substance. I have had good Terrebrune red wines before so I will give it another chance someday. Someday. Prefer Tempier, which alas is more expensive.

This is a mouthful - credit the Mourvedre - but still light and briny. To drink young I would opt for a few of its peers over this, especially for value, but I’ll go back to this rose any time it’s offered!

Notes of rose, strawberry (among other red fruit), wet stone - delightful

Thin with unfocused flavors, don't know what more aging can do to this wine. Somewhat disappointing, especially for the price.

Notes of lemon meringue, ripe strawberries, floral. Not as much depth as I would have expected from Bandol.
Low acidity, mid body on palate.
Enjoyable but think there are better options for mid to full depth rose.

Big, full bodied strawberry fruit, less acidic than the Tempier

Exact same comments as before. Couldn’t put it any better.
