  Herrlich - lang schon wieder mal List drauf - und wieder viel Spaß im Glas - braucht etwas Luft, dann dreht er auf. Eingekochte Brombeere, Wald und Unterholz - Maulbeerig / vielleicht schwarze Johannisbeeren- viel Frucht - kleidet den Gaumen aus - fruchtig - aber elegant - die 15 Volt sind zu erwarten- aber gut integriert

  Excellent, but needs more time to really blossom

  Rich, delicious dark red fruit with licorice/dark raspberry flavors, excellent structure, elegant viscosity and strong acid, fruit tight and seemed a bit diminished, ample finish, compared to the 2017 Gros Nore the Tempier is a more elegant wine with greater complexity and layered flavors, however, the fruit in the 2013 and 2018 Gros Nore wines was fuller and rounder, I suspect 2017 is not as robust of a year in Bandol as the other two

  Opened for 4 hours. Color is deep ruby. On the nose: Raspberry liqueur, cassis and plum. On the palate: Raspberry, lingonberry, cassis, hint of plum, vanilla, forest floor and dusty tannins. Good length , good mouthfeel. Excellent wine.

  Served by the glass. A reference winery in Bandol that continues elaborating with Monastrell. Recognizable appellation on the nose and mouth with that impenetrable colour, those herbaceous notes and those smoked black berries hints. Also that warmth and that length so characteristic. Rustic to the bone but surely in a few years will be right to its point
  
  Servido por copas. Una bodega referencia en Bandol que continúa elaborando con Monastrell. Reconocible apelación en nariz y en boca con ese color impenetrable por la luz, esas notas herbáceas y de bayas negras ahumadas. También ese calor y esa longitud tan características. Rústico hasta el tuétano pero seguramente en unos años estará en su punto.
