Chateau Vannieres Bandol Rouge 2018

The 2018 Chateau Vannieres Bandol Rouge is a powerful, age-worthy red from Bandol, France, known for its rich, concentrated dark fruit, herbal notes (like wild herbs), tannins, and earthy complexity, often featuring Mourvèdre prominently. It's a significant wine from a top estate, offering rich texture and black fruit, with a strong profile of leather, cocoa, and spice, suggesting it benefits from cellaring (recommended to drink from 2024) and is a true expression of its terroir.
