Bandol Rosé Blend 2023

Can count on this every year. Strawberry, herbs, nice medium acid on the finish. Even the people that don’t like rosé enjoyed this one. — 8 days ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2012

Delicious. Loads of dark fruit, black plum, black cherry, cassis, etc. plus some spice plus some earthy olive notes. And great structure with a long finish. — 21 days ago

Château Pradeaux

Bandol Mourvedre 2014

From magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. Due to the setting, no formal notes. That being said, I am pleased to share is that the 2014 is at a lovely, early stage in its evolution. Developing still; dark and complex with good structure. This was a killer pairing with a variety of fare including smoked duck. Drink now through 2034 easy. — 2 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I have some bottles left (1988, 1989, mag of 1990, and I think 1995), these were always amazing!!

Nice to see the old world doing a Cabernet Syrah blend. A great blend and very common in Australia as you know.

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Needs air. Better at 60° than 50. Bitter Aperol quality. Viscous. Orange blossom, guava, kiwi, apricot, and gravel. Alcohol stands out a bit. Likely just needs more time. — a month ago
