Chateau de Pibarnon Bandol 2000
Bandol, Provence, Sud de France, FranceThe blend is an unusual 95 per cent mourvèdre and 5 per cent grenache. Look for quite an intense licorice and plum fruit nose with hints of smoky game underneath. There's a rich warm mid-palate with more smoky plum licorice flavours in the aftertaste. A big wine at a big price that will require another two to three years to come around. Well made but it lacks sophistication.Tasted: 11 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $56.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
