Domaine le Galantin

Bandol Mourvèdre 2021

Rustic, earthy, plenty of tannin, and ripe blackberry. Great food wine. Pairs nicely with rustic dark meat dishes. Drinking great five years in, but feels like this one has aging longevity for more integration. — 4 months ago

Dark fruits and well balanced tannins highlight this excellent wine. More in the medium to full body Pinot noir‘s which I prefer  — 5 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

Glistening ruby hue. Upon opening this is tight, and animal scented. Then it opens to violet accented florals, candied red fruit, ginger, and gojiberry. Grapey with persistent tannins. Not at all too sweet or ripe. Rustic but balanced in a way that’s unique to Vieux Telegraphe and is one of the things I really love about the domaine. — 6 years ago

Just had the ‘06 and it was also in a great place. 15-18 years in bottle seems to be a sweet spot.

1993 Georges de Voguet. Fathers Day dinner w mnd, IK, and K at Carl. Remarkably young tasting. Opened up a lot after 30 min in the glass. Rustic, really full-bodied. Didn’t have that prettiness or softness that the Leroys often have. — 8 years ago
