Very very good showing at age 20. This bottle was showing good fruit, still some secondary elements of sweeter fruits, tannin is fully integrated. Fully rewarded the cellaring and a great value.

Fully mature but going strong, this is a classic Bandol. It is slightly lighter in body than I expected, but that is the only minor detraction. Best to drink up, as it seems more likely to fade at this point.
