| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by peternelson on 9/30/2018 & rated 90 points: This was aromatic and full of dark savory notes at first and seemed superior to the '89 which was quite reticent at first, but then it lost steam and the '89 overtook it quite easily. This became more one-dimensional and a little weak in the mi-palate. EWG at GCC (821 views) | | | Tasted by kstoddard on 9/12/2012: Blind Night (Jock): Dead bottle...What a shame... (3273 views) | | | Tasted by Docdave on 1/27/2012 & rated 91 points: bought this when first released. Wish I had more. Aging gracefully with wonderful notes of earth, mushroom and funk. Some cherry notes with old leather. 25.00 original price, wish I had many more (2724 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 12/6/2011: Earthy and savory nose, slightly stinky. Some cherry and garrigue with warm stone.
Then more dark fruit, ink, old leather with a hint of licorice. The palate shows old wood notes and iron. Balanced with still fruit and acidity. Masculine and droit. Incredibly vibrant with a long finish. Long life ahead. Very Complex.
A great wine.

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)
Domaine Tempier is located at Le Plan du Castellet. Its vineyards stretch over three different communities- Le Castellet, Le Beausset and La Cadière. The plots of land are thus far apart and require extra work. But the soil of these different areas yield distinctive cuvées -Spéciale, Migoua, Tourtine and Cabassaou - as well as interesting and complex blends for white, rosé and red wines.
Domaine Tempier owns 30 hectares. It produces AOC Bandol exclusively - an average of 68% red, 29% rosé and 3% white wines, approximately 120,000 bottles per year
