Domaine Tempier
Bandol Rosé Blend
Normally love this wine, 2017 has not been my favorite...bitter notes, alcohol sticks out, fruit seems overdone.

Jun 27th, 2023👃 Watermelon, cold peach, cold clementine peel, crushed rock.
👅 Under-ripe peach, cold raspberry, red currant, orange zest.
Lovely, been a while since we've grabbed this bottle, in a great spot, probably killer in 2-4Y, but I'll never know; one off purchase.

Best tempier rose I’ve had in a while. Intense savory watermelon mineral salinity acidity and structure. Fantastic.

Oct 5th, 2021National Rose Day!! I guess that’s a thing. Figured I should open one of my favorite Rosé wines on the planet. Unfortunately, this has become so hard to find in my neck of the woods that it’s nearly unobtainium. I would otherwise drink this all summer long. On the nose, strawberry, melon, blood orange and a little bit of funky cheese. On the palate, brambles, strawberry, citrus. Fabulous body…nearly chewy. Low tannin. Dry. Great acid. Super long…over a minute with minerals for days. A truly special wine that everyone can find a reason to love.

Oh the jubilation of sitting outside on a beautiful day with people in addition to your immediate family and drinking the good stuff. What can be said about one of the world’s perfect rosés that hasn’t been said. Benchmark bright berries and watermelon citrus snap and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh and clean and disappears almost instantly on a warm day. Please sir, may I have some more?

Mar 26th, 2021A little skunky at first, slightly sweet, luscious texture. Red fruit and confectionary aromas; fondant. Punchy mineral kick. Great balance. Wish I’d waited a few more years.

simultaneously light yet suave ~ delivering a floating layer of fruit w a long focused finish ending in the dustiest of minerals
this is the “prettiest” vintage I’ve ever had
