2021 Chateau de Pibarnon Bandol Rouge [WS93]

"This almost gushes with warm cassis and plum puree flavors, laced with hints of violet, red tea, worn leather and dried rosemary. The long finish lets the leathery edge assert itself, giving the fruit some spine as this cruises slowly through the lengthy finish. Textbook Bandol. Mourvèdre and Grenache. Best from 2023 through 2033." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Aromas suggest licorice, cinnamon and Provençal garrigue. Complexly flavored and richly textured, with structured tannins; black fruits and baking spices.Pair with beef short ribs with soy glaze or pork sausages with herbs."
