I had the good fortune to be a guest at a wine dinner where a friend brought this wine. What a great pairing to the pork belly dish I had.
In the glass, this Bandol is deep purple and leggy. Had a hard time pulling myself away from sniffing this blackberry, earthy and mushroomy-scented wine to taste it. This Mourvedre blend is big, meaty and dense. In the mouth, it’s all about the dark fruit, licorice, spruce and earth. I only detected a little of the funk associated with this appellation. Big wintertime wine that could benefit from seeing the decanter.
