What the critics say
91 / 100
WINE SPECTATOR
"A dark, densely packed Bandol, with plum and black currant layered with spices, licorice root and salty crushed iron. Stylish, toasty cedar polish adds warmth. Burly tannins stitch everything firmly together with ironclad intensity. Give this bruiser time to mellow out. Mourvèdre and Carignan. Best from 2027 through 2040. KB. (Estagnol 2022)."
91 / 100
WINE SPECTATOR
"Dark plum and blackberry fruit is carried by warm fruitcake and licorice notes, with a persistent juicy edge. Briary grip and a juniper accent chime in on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2021. Estagnol 2011."
92 / 100
WINE SPECTATOR
"Plush and rich, with dense flavors of dark cherry, fig, licorice and dark chocolate. The powerful finish lingers with notes of mocha, smoke and roast beef. Needs time. Best from 2010 through 2014. (Estagnol 2006)"
91 / 100
WINE SPECTATOR
"Brooding, muscular red dominated by roasted elements including baker's chocolate and dark plum. Thick and rich, the flavors linger on the finish. Needs some time to settle out. Best from 2005 through 2008. (Estagnol 2001)"

WINE ADVOCATE
"A prestige bottling from older vines (average age of 50 years), the 2010 Bandol Cuvee Estagnol is a blend of 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. Still relatively youthful, it's dark and plummy, with overtones of clove and allspice. Full-bodied, firm and dusty, it finishes long, with attractive notes of licorice and black cherries. Drink Date: 2022-2035. Joe Czerwinski - January 2023. (Estagnol 2010)"
92 / 100
WINE ADVOCATE
"Marked by aromas of menthol, clove, allspice, leather and dried cherries, the full-bodied 2000 Bandol Cuvee Estagnol is likely at its apogee. Complex, silky and long on the finish, it should be enjoyed over the next several years. Drink Date: 2015-2030. January 2023. (Estagnol 2000)."
