2015 Château Pradeaux Bandol

Built more along the classic lines of the tannic, structured 2017, the 2015 Bandol is another top-notch wine. A blend of 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, aged in foudres, it's full-bodied and silky but firm and a bit dusty in feel, those tannins framing hints of mint, truffle and cola on the long finish. Give it another few years in the cellar.
