🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  AOC Grès de Montpellier red wine, Cuvée Ultreïa from Domaine Mas de Martin .  Vintage: 2018 .  🍇: Grenache, Syrah .  👀: In the glass, it's a deep red, almost dark garnet . 👃: First nose: the garrigue arrives unexpectedly. Thyme, rosemary, tapenade—we're clearly in the South, not on a postcard, but in the real world. Then come the black fruits: crushed blackberry, ripe plum, and that little peppery touch typical of Syrah that tickles your nose. With aeration, it becomes softer, deeper: a hint of cocoa, a black olive . 👄: The attack is direct but warm. No harshness, more like a firm handshake. The substance is there: round, enveloping, almost velvety, the Grenache brings the sunshine, the Syrah the backbone. Beautiful balance of alcohol and freshness, nothing overpowering. The tannins are present but polished. The finish is long, spicy, slightly saline, with that little something extra that makes...

Ripe black fruit, black olive, tapenade, dried herbs, thyme crushed between your fingers. And then that animal touch, a bit wild, warm stone, a distant wood fire. It's as if the Mourvèdre invited the Carignan to have a smoke behind the cellar while the Cinsault watched the sunset. It's Mediterranean, without the postcard imagery . 👄: On the palate, it attacks smoothly, almost tenderly. Then it stretches out. The substance is there, but without heaviness. The tannins are patinated, polished by time, like a jacket you wouldn't dare throw away. It's juicy, saline, slightly bitter on the ...

Bandol red, Cuvée Grande Réserve from Domaine du Paternel @domainedupaternel Vintage: 2020 .  👀: A deep ruby, almost the color of a black cherry dyed with India ink.
