10th of 12, decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, perhaps beginning to show more layering as it approaches maturity, attractive and not too hot in this hot vintage, upgrade likely if current trajectory continues. F (17.5).

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