Had heard that an aged Bandol was very different then a young one. Seeked out this bottle on winebid.com for a try. Overall a okay wine. Cloudy and light ruddy red, muted nose with silky smooth tannins, not complex at all. For me the younger the better.

Medium magenta color. Nose shy, but fruit is lurking. On the palate, high acid, out of balance. There's a serious hole in the mid-palate. Not good. Light body. This wine has not future. 5-9-9-4: 77/100.

With MPL at S&F survey of Domaine Tempier. Good ruby/magenta color. Nose has cocoa and a bit of fruit. Chocolatey flavors. Good in a different way. 5-10-14-7: 86/100.

Superb aromatics when I decanted it at home but more generic by the time we drank it, when it seemed an anonymous middle-aged red wine.
