Aromas of mulberries, Mediterranean herbs, earth and baking spices. Medium- to- full-bodied with fine tannins. Structured with a fruity and creamy center-palate and a peppery finish. 85% mourvedre, 10% grenache and 5% cinsault. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2026.
The first vintage on the Place this year and the first Bandol property to be represented. Roses, lychee, peach, floral scented red cherries and strawberries too, a very nuanced and expressive nose. Full, plush and ripe on the palate, massy chewy tannins fill the mouth and provide a chalky base for the ripe fruit. This is carefully controlled though, nothing sticks out or is too much. Despite the concentration there is a nice delicacy to the overall feel. I like the herbal aspects, the floral ones, the minty liquorice touch and cola at the end. Easy drinking with nuance and style. (Drink between 2022-2034)
