La Bastide Blanche Bandol Rouge 2018 (France)A powerful wine with aromas of black currant, liquorice and earthy leathery notes, the La Bastide Blanche Bandol Rouge 2018 is complex on the nose and similar on the palate with incredible tannins and structure. The wine is still young and will improve with some time in the cellar, however the delicious jammy fruits and warm spices do make it a beautiful wine to enjoy now.
