Baron Philippe de Rothschild,
Ready, but will keep,
The wine is an attractive garnet red with purple highlights. The intense and delicate nose reveals luscious ripe fruit aromas mingled with succulent milk chocolate and liquorice notes.
The supple and smooth attack shows mature, elegant, well-rounded tannins, while the packed and elegant mid-palate expands on red fruit flavours accompanied by notes of toast, leaving an impression of succulence and fullness. Distinguished, the very long finish lingers on elegant fruit.

Domaine Terrebrune,
Ready, but will keep,
A more forward, medium-bodied effort is the 2013 Bandol Rouge, which is a blend of 85% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache and 5% Cinsault that’s aged in foudre. Offering subtle barrique in its creamy licorice, spice, crushed flowers and raspberry-scented bouquet, it’s lightly textured and charming, with plenty of character. I don’t see any need to hold off, yet it will certainly keep nicely through 2028.

Domaine de Trevallon,
For laying down,
Domaine de Trévallon is located in the medieval town of Les Baux-de-Provence, 30km due south of Avignon, relatively close to the Southern Rhône, but, whereas Châteauneuf-du-Pape glories in heady Grenache and brooding Mourvèdre, Trévallon is an equal partnership of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Cabernet has found a natural homestead in the relative altitude of the slopes of the Alpilles, its generous black fruit core held in counterpoint by the purity and focus of the Syrah.
An idiosyncratic wine, with mint, dark chocolate, eucalyptus, and ripe blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaf on the nose. The palate is superbly balanced, with reams of ripe cassis fruit, full-bodied, but fresh and lively. It has a precision and elegance one would not expect from a Southern French wine. The tannins are ripe and chalky, which is a nice foil to the ripe fruit palate.

Mas de Daumas Gassac,
Ready, but will improve,
Super ripe, dense fruit, plum, smoke, scorched earth, lavender. There is a hot, dark centre to this wine, but lots of perfume and freshness surrounding it on the nose. Lovely soft texture on the palate, absolutely seamless, with no edges at all, but balanced by fresh, integrated acidity. Reams of ripe red and black fruits on the palate with plum leading cassis in a dance all the way to the fine, delicate finish.
