2014 - Vintage Domaine Tempier “La Tourtine” 80%-Mourvedre 10%-Grenache 10%-Cinsault ( no Carignan in this wine) red rim mediums red color, a lot of other than fruit aromas earth,mushroom, sage, undergrowth, black fruit beautifully presented with medium tannins softening nicely. This is out of a magnum ( good time to start drinking but definitely some time left) they have different names on the label signifying different blends this is the La Tourtine but they also have “La Migoua” and just a Bandol with no designation label says 11%-14% ( I bet on the 14%) — a day ago

From magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. Due to the setting, no formal notes. That being said, I am pleased to share is that the 2014 is at a lovely, early stage in its evolution. Developing still; dark and complex with good structure. This was a killer pairing with a variety of fare including smoked duck. Drink now through 2034 easy. — 5 months ago

Ok this is my experiment!! My first experience with Domaine Tempier was three years ago; this wine, this vintage. Presenting with an extremely plush salinity in the mouth the wine was lacking just a bit in smell and quite a bit more in pallet.
I did some research..discovering that Bandol Rosé has a pretty unique aging potential. It took a bit but I was able to acquire another 2014...and I waited...(suggested 5-6 yrs.) So I split the difference ...almost!
This wine is so much better on the nose and palate...Rainier Cherries..Watermelon..Kiwi fruit..Jolly Rancher strawberries..tangerine and wet gravel!
Every vintage is different....the 2015 was great from the start and remains my favorite!! — 6 years ago

Medium bodied. Dry until it was paired with spicy food, when the flavors really exploded. Became more full and peppery. — 5 years ago

Tip of the hat to @AnthonyLombardi for his recent review of this. Glad to have run across it. Solid aromatics, clean crisp, orange blossom, tropical fruits, saline, sea shells. Perfect for a mellow spring evening. Reeaallly good! — 7 years ago
