Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor) Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2010
Moving to the classic cuvee and even more impressive (it was one of the top wines I was able to taste for this report), the 2010 Bandol, which is over 90% Mourvedre...offers both gorgeous aromatic complexity and superb richness and depth on the palate. Giving up notions of pepper, Provencal herbs, underbrush and leather, with a solid core of dark fruit, this medium to full-bodied, pure, layered and beautifully balanced effort...will easily keep for a decade or more past that. eRobertParker.com

The fruit is more advanced than I was hoping but there’s plenty of vigorous length and structure

Seems to be in a good stage of development- nicely softened tannins. Juicy blackberry, game and violets. Drink this with bloody steak or by a winter fire.

Dense, still tightly wound-definitely a bit smoother w the age. Black currants, monolythic, in its granite like, chiseled mineralty

Unfortunately this is my last bottle of 6. The 4(ish) opened after 2015 were pretty great.

This is rounding into form, showing dark berry fruit, dried herbs and black olives.

Infanticide? Tannins starting to bark less but this is all coiled, very dry black fruit energy.
