Giving up ample dark fruit, ground herbs, pepper and assorted meatiness, it’s full-bodied, rich and tannic on the palate, with superb overall balance and length. This rock solid Bandol should be hidden in the cellar for 3-4 years, and enjoyed over the following decade. \u003cstrong\u003e89-92 Points Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Begude","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948825079855,"sku":"F0EE378026MVS","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/begude_bandol_rouge_label.jpg?v=1771484245","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/begude-bandol-rouge-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
