A bit simple, light and unidimensional. I though with the acquisition of La Ladiere the Tempier Blanc would get close to their level. This is not up to it. I wonder if it would make more sense to make a separate wine from the Ladiere vineyards.

A Bandol in its prime. Mellow earthy tones, signature Domaine Tempier finish. Kermit was right, this is a wine with soul. Enjoyed with dinner at home of a wine collector and his wife.

All I could have expected from my first Tempier with significant age. Dusty, funky, floral, and powerful. Understand the obsession with these wines.

A Private Tasting in London of various varietals: This was “correct” but a bit foursquare compared to decent CdPs. Purple grape and black cherry. Nose better than the palate which was shortish and clipped. 88-89

Main de fer dans un gant de velours.
Nez pur, strict/serieux, classique, en retenue. Léger cuir, fruits noirs, poivre, bois ciré.
Bouche très jeune, du soleil dans la rondeur, de la fraîcheur acidulée et des tanins fins mais encore bien présents qui ne demandent qu’à s’affiner encore sur 10/15 ans . Le vin est approchable, son élégance discrète, tel un grand Bordeaux rigide (des 90’s), le rend déjà attractif, mais la magie devrait opérer réellement dans 7/10 ans …
Tempier reste d’un classicisme inébranlable !
93/94

This wine has a beautiful red color with an orange rim. It has lovely dark red fruits, bramble, herbs de Provence and some green olive. It has great length and a roundness to it that is pleasing. The tannins have been resolved, but it still keeps the rustic characteristics of a typical wine from Bandol.

Dark and brooding on the nose. Smoky, dried herbs wrapped around a core of strawberry and blackberry. Hints of leather and earth.

Structured and concentrated on the palate with a dusting of spice. Enough acidity to keep everything fresh. Savoury finish.

Needs air if drinking now.

Meaty, complex nose, cheese, heaps of barnyard, blood orange, tangerine, and strawberry. More blood orange and juicy golden peach on the palate, and a pretty rose-gold color. Damn that's funky! In a good way, like an andouillette, you just can't stop sniffing. Slowly though, the funk fades in glass, and is replaced with more peach and a light rose petal, along with cantaloupe and watermelon candy. And yet... it still smells a bit like hogshit, in a good way. I swear I mean that in a good way.

Bouquet is intense, almost rank with meatiness, initially wondering if it went bad. Surprisingly pretty good in the mouth. The Mourvèdre seems to be really showing itself, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, but almost a bit too much.

At first, it mostly smells of farmyard even if not too repulsive. With time it steps back and lets other notes shine: liquorice, eucalyptus, blackberry, cedar, cigar smoke, but with a distinct dirt/manure smell. Still quite nice even though not as complex as it could’ve been.
On the palate it’s medium-bodied with medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Very interesting combination to form the mouthfeel. There is sandpaper or what character, dry gritty oak guelder-rose berry, redcurrant and blackberry leaf.
Long finish, which is very enjoyable with evolving flavours.
9-/18

Medium dark ruby. Powerful aroma of dark cherries, black plums, chocolate, tea, earth, forest floor, roses, a hint of vanillin oak. Dark and red fruit on the palate, pomegranate and raspberry, medium plus acids, medium fine grained tannins, medium alcohol, very long finish. Well constructed, complex, balanced.

Opened and paired with olive oil and herb pork cutlets and mixed salad. Dark purple color with a crimson hue. Funky nose brings garrigue, purple lavender, and blueberry compote. The palate is full, square, and tangy, bringing a nice dark core of rhubarb, black licorice, and blackberries mixed with high-toned red cherries. Simmering beef stock, wild game, and mushroom soy sauce emerge on the tannic finish. This is drinking in a good early window now but will be best 2026-2032. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

4/10/2024 - eyewino Likes this wine: 88 points

Very dark ruby core fading to pink with a thin watery rim. Expressive nose of dark raspberry, dark cherry, barnyard and sweet tobacco. Palate is of more dark red fruits and mineral. Full-bodied with grainy tannins, this leads to a medium-length aftertaste of cherry and eucalyptus.

This was the third of my six bottles. The first was tasted two years ago and had much more barnyard funk. The funk seems to have receded (darn it!) and been replaced with more primary dark red fruits. Paired very well with grilled venison and mushroom risotto. Good now, but I will hold my next bottle for a couple years and the last for perhaps six more years.

Great stuffing, but super salty and tart and some celery.
Day 2 - some development, but not fun.
Day 3 - finally opened up and smoothed out with lovely peach notes and vegetal/mineral in the undercurrent.

Let these lay for 2 years.

At 14 years in the bottle it is very slightly past peak. Still an amazing but very mellow Domaine Tempier Bandol. Paired well with a medium rare t-bone.

It was clear from the start that the 2021 Tempier Rosé needed more time than usual, and in its third year it is starting to deliver. The reduction, quite marked at release, has receded considerably, and the customary fruity (watermelon, strawberry, peach, cantaloupe melon) and floral aromas are really starting to shine; the palate displays succulent fruit (especially at a slightly elevated temperature - I recommend it), and the minerally energy, balance (13% ABV) and silky elegance are impeccable; convincing and complete finish with very good length. An excellent vintage for Tempier Rosé. Glad to have a full case left for summer 2024, and it will certainly age well if there is anything left by autumn...

Pale purple. The wine opens up after 5 to 6 hours of aeration. Berries, plum, black pepper, flowers, garrigue, and some earthy notes. Medium-plus body with medium acidity. The tannin is less rustic than many wines from southern France. Finish is long and stylish.

Sweet melon, herbs and a fresh sea breeze on the nose. Exceptional, outstanding harmony and elegance on the beautifully velvet palate, slowly building up some savoriness on the mid palate towards the long finish where some very fine tannins glue itself to the palate. This has gained even more substance over the last year and is now a better wine still. Everytime I drink Tempier rosé I realize anew that this is one of those few signature wines of this world that are not comparable with anything else out there. 19/20

Coravin with aerator. Old reviews still valid. A bit reductive, closed. Tricky to let it breathe with Coravin. Next time, I will try to pull out part of the bottle with Coravin for a decant overnight.
