Tasting Notes

The highest scoring wine on the day was the fully mature red 82.

A legendary wine. It is sad to hear that the Domaine does not possess a single bottle. I've drunk this many times in London and at Beaugraviere in France, but this might be the first bottle I've tasted for 10 years. It now has a brown, mahogany colour and has developed into a fine old Burgundy. It reminds me of DRC and Vogué wines from the 1950's. There is great complexity here and sweetness mingled with forest floor notes and a lingering, gentle, sweet finish. Fading away but still a beauty.

C'est un monument d'une classe incompréhensible, jamais égalé depuis. Dieu sait que j'aime plus que tout mes chouchous les Bandol , mais celui-ci est de loin le plus grand vin au sud de la vallée du Rhône jamais élaboré.
