I was surprised when this turned out to be an orange wine, but not at all disappointed. Beautiful amber color, medium bodied, with a strong nose of ripe, sweet fruit, with good acid, and notes of navel orange, Meyer lemon, sweet cream (though VERY light), with hints of mustard, celery and other subtle vegetal notes. Palate is smooth, with great energy and well integrated creamy motes of ripe orange, blood orange and grapefruit, but not tart, with more prominent vegetable notes, maybe some more anise and celery. At the finish there’s even hints of some smoky BBQ, which ends in a dry, slightly spicy and savory hue. — a month ago
Really perfumed nose. Orange, honey, lemon, apples, herbs. Good acid. — 3 months ago
Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The The 2020 Santa Chiara appears a deep orange color with notes of marmalade, apricot, flowers, and varnish (VA). The palate shows low+ tannin and decent acid. Tasty, complex stuff as usual. A lovely pairing with gougère of prosciutto, green olive and honey. Drink now through 2030-ish. Bottle No. 2814/5940 — 5 months ago
Light and "prickly" with a little citrus, a little fruitiness, and a little minerals. Yummy from a can at COTS 🥂 — 6 days ago
Syrupy peaches. Wildflower nectar, butter shortbread, muscat grapes. Amazing with creme Catalan. @ Persona, Stockholm — a month ago
I've squeezed all the mystery out of Tempier Rose' over the years. Consistently good. Consistently consistent.
Familiar salmon rose gold. Orange zippy bitter pith and grapefruit sours. Herbs de provence and mild tannin in a syrupy Bandolian texture.
Always hits...in exactly the same way. — 2 months ago
Got away with more aging than recommended. Still lovely. — 6 months ago
An explosion of apricot flavor. Round and smooth, heavy weight, with sufficient but not overt acidity. A beautiful sweet wine. — 4 days ago
My new favorite wine! The finish is exquisite. Tropical notes, medium bodied, crisp, and balanced acidity.  — 17 days ago
If this was the only wine I could drink for the rest of my life, I’d be quite content. — 3 months ago
Medium lemon , hints of gold , quite a healthy colour with fine pretty persistent bubbles still . This quite intense with candied lemon peel , brioche , oyster shells , touch of porcini . On the palate this is intense ,with good volume and vibrant acidity. Buttered brioche , oyster shell , candied orange and lemon peel . Really quite lovely and intense , long and toasted brioche , chalky finish . This is at peak now , but no rush from here over the next 5 perhaps 10 years . — 8 months ago

A very sweet red wine. If you are looking for something super sweet and enjoyable cold, this is the one. Very good with smoked Gouda cheese and prosciutto. Highly recommend this one if you love dessert wines. Every note is savory. Women love it. — 13 days ago
