Great finish
The 2015 is an excellent forward drinking vintage and this wine typifies that style and is utterly delicious now

The firm tannins and bold structure are mitigated by succulent and ripe black-currant flavors
Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rouge, Provence, France 2020 Grignolino a fleeting astringency and successfulMidnight purple color. As brooding on the nose as the color would suggest, showing dark plum, loganberry, crushed minerals, graphite, iodine, and potting soil. The body is dense and full, packed with blackberry preserves, licorice, cocoa powder, and iron ore. The meaty density of this wine cannot be overstated, yet integrated tannins and soft minerals on the finish keep the palate in balance.
