Ode to Lucien Peyraud, the founder of Domaine Tempier and this Bandol Rouge style blend would make him proud. 75% mourvedre, 15% grenache, 10% syrah. Drinking well young for purity of the fruit and the finesse the wine shows, but should develop some serious complexity with several more years in bottle.

Appearance: Dark with purple tones and clear
Nose: Violet just a little, and a little more but can't tell what.
Palate: not cabernet cassis and lots of tannins, full bodied, delicious
Opinion: glad I have one more!

This old vine Mourvedre is from the Bedrock vineyard (same source as the Carignan we’re also having tonight), and is an ode to Lucien Peyraud of Domaine Tempter in Bandol, dark color, aromas and flavors are a bit wilder than the Carignan, incredibly youthful and this also needs further cellaring, long, lingering finish, fruit is less “sweet” and more structured than the Carignan, but super intense, lovely!

Very good with lots of room for development. Loaded with dark fruit, earthy notes, graphite, a touch of oak. Silky smooth despite its depth.
