  Powerful and dense, but not overpowering or too thick. Not the kind of wines I usually drink, so difficult for me to judge. Well drinkable, but my enjoyment was limited.

  Brilliant crimson ruby under the light. Fascinating Manchego and soft cheese note on the nose with black berries in the background. Strong blackberry notes followed by strong bramble with cottage cheese umami notes in the finish. Unusual and delicious with many years ahead of him.

  This is a bit light for a Bandol. A touch angular. This vintage is favorite of mine for the Tempier.

  Ripe. Hot nose. You can feel a bit the heat. Its on the same notes of dark fruits. It felt better the second day.
