@Omega Male for Bandol, Chateau de Pibarnon is also pretty decent- I have some bottles laying around

@Omega Male,

Lacking extensive experience myself. Like the style and result of the varieties - Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Grenache, Carignan and Syrah - in the region in general and if I happen to see one I get it and put it away for some time on the shelf.

Haven’t posted in this threak for years. Here’s a few I had on a recent vacation. View attachment 1271905 View attachment 1271908 View attachment 1271909 View attachment 1271906

the 2009 DP was amazing when I had it last year. 2004 ... Bordeaux?

Seeing where this fella is at, let this sit for a couple days in the fridge after opening and having a glass out of it on Monday, polishing off today and I’m really impressed with this first bottle - strong future ahead

This is from a case my in-laws gave us. Not much to this one...

One of us had to go. It came down to either she or me.
Today,

Will have with some steaks tonight

Good call!

2016 was a great year. The only problem is a lot of the wines are drinking so well already it's hard to resist getting stuck into them. Ask me how I know?

 

[NJE66]

Nothing spectacular but above avarage and as always good given the price range. And i drink too much.
