Domaine le Galantin Rouge, Bandol, Provence, France

90% Mourvèdre with 10% Grenache this wine showcases why the Provencal wine region should be more known outside of Rosè. Black cherry, blueberry, and some brambly raspberry. A touch of licorice, toast, and spice from the oak aging. Structurally the tannin is high and there’s moderate-plus acidity.
