Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol 2023 750ml
DescriptionThe latest release from Domaine de Terrebrune showcases the potential of young Bandol to offer both immediate pleasure and long-term promise. This 2023 vintage captures the estate's signature style in its youth - vibrant, structured, and unmistakably Bandol in character.
The wine presents deep purple-black color and opens with intense aromas of fresh blackberry and plum, accompanied by notes of violet, licorice, and Proven?al herbs. As it develops, hints of black olive, graphite, and sea salt emerge, providing complexity even in youth. The palate delivers impressive concentration - primary fruit flavors dominate, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins that promise excellent aging potential. Fresh acidity provides lift and energy, while mineral undertones add dimension.
While Bandol is traditionally a wine for aging, Terrebrune's skilled winemaking ensures this young vintage offers pleasure now with proper aeration. The 2023 showcases the estate's ability to craft wines of both power and finesse - approachable in youth yet built to evolve magnificently over the coming decades. For collectors, this represents an opportunity to secure a wine that will reward patience; for immediate consumption, decanting reveals its considerable charms.
