Very dry with a long and rich flavor profile. Taste of spiced plum, green apple and a hint of sour at the end. Very light on aroma. — 6 days ago

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing limes, grapefruits, gooseberries, earth and spices.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Bandol white. Rich, tangy and fruit forward. Has a New world Sauvignon Blanc feel.

Expressive and spicy. Complex and nicely balanced. Really enjoyed the nose here.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 60% Clairette, 30% Ugni Blanc with 10% Vermentino and Bourboulenc. Grapes are handpicked, and aged for 10 months in used oak barrels.

12.5% alcohol by volume .

Aromas of leather, tree bark and black fruits. A rich and powerful ultra savoury wine with ripe black fruits, a dash of black pepper and fading raspberry- silky intensity. Works perfectly with BBQ Lamb Chops. Still going strong at 18 years from a good year in Bandol. The following night - consistent notes. Predominantly Mourvèdre in the blend together with Grenache and Cinsault I believe but not sure of the exact percentages. In 2004 it was 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. — 12 days ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

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%) — 17 days ago
