Chateau Vannieres Bandol 1998 SP-5 (5 bottles) 1990 was the first vintageWinemaker Notes: A rather dense color with amber rim variations. The nose is marked by notes of quince, figs, licorice, pepper, mint, with hints of leather and cigar box. The palate is supple and aromatic. Texture is silky and very balanced, with a very refined frame. The tannins are still present but already well integrated. A very elegant vintage with another 10 years minimum of aging potential.
