Domaines Ott Chateau Romassan Bandol Rosé 2024: Rich Complexity in Every Glass
Red 13.5% ABV ABV OttNice bottle for a special night in
We opened this on a Friday night with some steaks and it was proper good. Loads of blackberry and plum, and it's got this dry grip at the end that makes you want another sip. I reckon it'd be even better if you left it a year or two.
Really impressed with this one
Bought this for a dinner party and it was a massive hit. The dark fruit flavours are gorgeous — plum and blackberry just jump out at you. Bit of a peppery kick too which I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed. Would definitely buy again.
Not bad but expected more from Ott
I've had other Ott wines that I loved so maybe my expectations were too high. It's fruity and drinkable for sure but at this price point there are reds I prefer. The peppery bit was nice though, I'll give it that.
Solid red, nice with food
Had this with a lamb stew and it worked really well. Quite juicy and fruity upfront but there's enough going on to keep it interesting. At £40 it's not an everyday bottle but it's a nice treat.
Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present to myself and no regrets. There's this lovely vanilla and herb thing on the nose, almost like a Mediterranean garden, and the finish goes on forever. Really satisfying wine. The spicy warmth through the middle is fantastic.
Good but not sure it's worth £40
The wine shop guy recommended this and it's perfectly nice — lots of dark fruit and a chocolatey thing going on in the background. But for nearly forty quid I expected to be blown away and I wasn't quite. Decent though.
Saw it on a restaurant menu, tracked it down
Had a glass of this at a restaurant last month and immediately wanted more. Finally found a bottle online. The dark chocolate and herb notes are so good, and it's got this bright berry freshness that stops it being too heavy. Really well balanced stuff.
