Estimate
This sinewy red shows an elegant edge, with plum and blackberry notes richly accented with ganache. Brooding mineral details give way to savory elements of cured meat and leather along the herb-tinged finish. Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah.
A Mourvèdre-dominated blend, this full-bodied wine is plush and supple, with a slightly creamy mid-palate and a velvety texture to the finish. I'd be surprised if this were long-lived by Bandol standards, but it provides plenty of pleasure now and probably will continue to do so up to a decade.
