Bastide Blanche, Bandol 2004

Purple/red.

Vinturi - earth/shoe polish/licorice/truffle/iodine/spice nose. PFG.

Broad and mouth-filling, but not sweet at all. Grainy tannic density - just loaded in the mouth. WTF? For $25 you get this?
Makes many producers look stupid and weak (unfortunately a few of my bottles, too). Long medicinal/licorice/chewy finish.

$25 Repeat after me, "Bronzo is a stud". Mourvedre.
