Saturday, December 3, 2022 - Clear ruby center. Reticent blackberry and a touch of herbs. Medium weight, clean, crisp black and blue fruit, but very little dimension or complexity beyond that. One of the most curiously boring and anonymous Tempiers I've ever had. Will keep the remaining half of the bottle to see if it blossoms overnight.
And indeed, after being recorked and opened 18 hours later, it is spicier and generally more lively. Funny thing wine...
