Sunday burger grilling with Mimi — a month ago
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

From goblet-trained old-vine Clairette in Lirac (vineyard was “planted before 1870) on a hill overlooking the Rhône on the west side of the river, this lovely white wine shows honey and minerals, also some very nice acidity to balance, Clairette (which I adore) rarely shows the more viscous textural notes I get from southern Rhône Blancs that are mostly Roussanne and/or Marsanne (the latter mostly found in the northern Rhône), very good finish, lovely wine!!
I have actually walked this vineyard (6 years ago), the gnarled old vines are a pretty cool sight!! — 2 months ago
