Community Tasting Notes 91

  September 15, 2023 - This was from a 375 that I bought at a restaurant. After about a half hour of opening up, this shows off a savory and classic quality with melded tones of black cherries, licorice, herbs, some funky notes, violets, tobacco leaf, and some olive tapenade. The Medium/full bodied feel is silky and refined in a light-heavyweight sense along with crisp, medium+ acidity and silky, medium+ tannins. This has a real lengthy finish that leans heavy into the deliciously savory side! This is why I drink Tempier!!! It’s all of the slightly feral and savory goodness that you want from Mourvedre and it's in full flight right now.

  August 11, 2023 - Such a great wine! PnP. Dark red color. Loads of flowers and earth on the nose. Dark cherries and blackberries on the palate. Lovely texture with medium depth and medium finish. Love it!

  June 10, 2023 - Always great! Similar to previous notes/bottles. Floral nose with earth and dark cherries throughout. Medium depth and a long finish.

  March 18, 2023 - Mourvèdre (~ 75%) with Grenache and Cinsault and a smaller proportion of Carignan and Syrah, 14% vol.
  
  Decanted 2 hours before dinner. On the nose red fruit, earthy notes with a fresh floral touch. On the palate good freshness, still present tannin that was hardly recognized during the meal but got more pronounced when drinking the last glass on its own, medium to full bodied, long finish.
  
  Very classical Bandol that is in a very good shape now, but there is no hurry to drink the last bottles, it has enough structure to age in grace, drink now till 2032.
