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. — 6 days ago

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%) — 11 days ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Pretty nose of red flowers, red berries, spices, chocolates and tobacco.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, earth and dark coffee.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Complex and interesting with good structure. Rich and fruit forward.

This 5 year old is starting to drink very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 95% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache. Aged for 4 years in large French oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

14% alcohol by volume.
