| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by RWG on 1/1/2019 & rated 94 points: Exceptional mature Bandol. Drinking really nicely at this point. A beautiful wine. Menthol, Cassis, cola tint. WOW.
Drank from a magnum on New Years Eve with some close friends. (1083 views) | | | Tasted by gblacave on 5/30/2017 & rated 94 points: Wow. Complete, mature wine full of earth, barnyard, a slight hint of dark fruits. Full and retained a freshness with a well-balanced palate throughout and a long, integrated finish. Paired very well with 30-day dry aged Flannery NY Strips.
Wish I had more old Cabassaous... (2033 views) | | | Tasted by copdyke on 10/31/2013 & rated 92 points: Fantastic. Cork seemed as if it had been up in the bottle yesterday. Still strong. Nice fruit and rounded tannins. Very nice. (3152 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 6/13/2011 flawed bottle: Tempier Tasting (Tom's House, Palo Alto): Group's #8, my #6 (Yes, I thought other wines were worse than a corked wine.) Cheesy nose, reticent aromas, very short bitter finish. Flawed. (4657 views) | | | Tasted by zscheiner on 6/9/2011 flawed bottle: 1982-1988 Domaine Tempier Bandol Blindtasting (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA): Corked. (my 8th, group's 8th) (4699 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 4/19/1991 & rated 85 points: Singer & Foy survey of Domain Tempier. Good black cherry color. Nice fruit. Shy. Dense, earthy. Fruit on the palate. Long. Not as overtly fruity as some of the other wines. Decent. 5-10-14-6: 85/100. (190 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 2/24/1991 & rated 91 points: At home with Kathy and Miranda at dinner (pasta with uncooked puttanesca sauce). Gorgeous wine. Black purple, with tremendous viscosity. Yet not opaque – not quite. Tremendous forward bouquet of voluptuous ripe raspberry fruit. Black pepper. Superb. In the mouth, it's a blockbuster, with firm, chewy, crunchy jammy fruit, held in perfect balance by good acidity. Very peppery. Long finish. Big wine, should be great with dinner. 5-12-16-8: 91/100. (192 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 8/1/1990 & rated 90 points: With Brett Raven and Michael Lehmann at the office. Black cherry/plum color. Looks deep, dark, rich. Almost opaque. Very complex, spicy bouquet; slightly barnyard. Pepper. Smells fabulous. In the mouth, just an overwhelming mouthful. Tons of crushed berries, tannin, acid and alcohol, all in great balance. Black fruits. Powerful and extroverted, this wine is not for the faint of heart. Could use some time to smooth out, but could go with hearty foods even now. Fine bottle. 5-12-16-7: 90/100.

| Domaine Tempier Producer website
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
