Domaines Paul Mas Vignes de Nicole Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019


Fine and powdery - cocoa like - tannins here; savoury with a smattering of fruit. 

There’s faint touches of old and drying tobacco, olive skins, and it veers toward to something cocoa like. Seeming somewhat devoid of personality and interest, yet without fault. 

The finish is dry, firm, with a residual and persistent length. 87

Domaines Paul Mas Vignes de Nicole Viognier 2019


I think these may be Dan Murphy's exclusive imports into Australia.

Chicken stock and stonefruit, soft and inviting. 


Luscious, a textural interplay across the palate, veering towards a viscosity that pulls forward stonefruit juice. Moderate length of flavour, pleasurable enough wine. 89

Paul Mas Marsanne 2018


Quite unsure how this can be pumped out, exported and retailed for under ten bucks - particularly when it - at least - smells varietal. 

It's a soft and sensuous blend of florals, smatterings of stonefruit and a little confectioners creme. 
Yes it's a little devoid on the palate in interest terms, but offers up  a delicate texture married to a subtle acidic carriage. 

Light carry of stonefruit nectar across the finish. There's balance and a gentle persistence. You could do far worse for your money. 87
