Delish cihilled. All leather and smoke. Fantastic on the palate. @Anthony Lynch It my first time with a bottle of the red. So good and better chilled.

'11 seems to be almost a sleeper vintage at Tempier, like '07, surrounded by vintages with more heft. This has balance, red fruit, and Bandol savoriness in spades.

Surprising. First thoughts #Mourvèdre + #garnacha + #mediterranean = big bold rustic wine. Nope! Totally the contrary, deep color but soft tannins floral aromas and blackberries. #Love it

Black fruit is restrained, muscular structure and firm tannins. Some minerality shows. Not a wine for tastings: needs time, air and food

Very rich yet refined old vine Mourvèdre. French Mourvèdre is special.
