  April 28, 2024 - Robe pourpre dense;
  Le bouquet est subtil au départ, principalement sur un fruité "brun" comme les pruneaux & les dattes. Il y a une belle dimension florale & épicés comme les épices vertes séchés & le poivre. Fort invitant.
  La bouche est ample, grasse en attaque, principalement sur le fruité perçu au nez, les épices sont omniprésentes du début à la fin. La densité de l'attaque est très bien soutenu par l'acidité dès le milieu de la bouche. L'alcool (14,5%) est quasiment imperceptible. Bref, équilibre exemplaire, très digeste malgré la densité. Fort agréable!

  March 28, 2024 - From Coravin - completely fresh. A wee bit polished (to my taste), as is the domaines new style, but the bandol-material is there, must certainly. Dark spice, dark fruit, sounds sweetness, chocolate, tobacco, everything galore.

  March 27, 2024 - Heard a lot of great things about Tempier so was excited to try this bottling. This is a medium bodied Mourvedre - definitely a lot of earthiness/savory/mushroom notes to the palate and the nose. There was unfortunately a little bit more brett than I would have enjoyed (but again this is a personal preference and everyone has a different tolerance for this).

  March 9, 2024 - Pulled from my father’s cellar. In typical Tempier fashion, once the Mourvèdre saddle leather smells calmed down and the wine spread out some it became really lovely and complex. A really fun wine to drink. If you have it, I would say hold onto it for a year or two longer or decant if you need to drink it now.
