The Bandol "Cuvee Longue Garde" 1998 is also drawn solely from the Mourvedre grape but this version is born of the oldest parcels on the Pradeaux estate. It is, essentially, a bigger, more massive version of the prior wine with a structure that demands patience. It is ornery, dark, brooding difficult if you will. The rewards will be manifold. Until one has had the pleasure of consuming a Pradeaux from a great vintage that has been sufficiently aged, one cannot imagine the profound character of this wine. It is not simply a powerful wine; it is complex and challenging, blessed with tannins that become sweet and grainy, with aromas of flowers and herbs that can fill a room, a sensual pleasure that has a persistence perhaps unrivalled in the world of wine.
