  Classic Bandol and Tempier; drank over two nights. Still quite dark in colour, with a lovely, rustic nose of red fruits and a whack of earth and leather. More red fruits (cherry in particular), tons of game and leather, slight herbal notes on the rich, full bodied, concentrated and velvety palate. A fair bit of sediment too. In a very good place now, but will last too. This is more savory than fruity, as it should be. Great bottle (A-).

  Cool dark fruit on the palate, lovely balance, rich fruit, fresh acidity, totally a point.
  An absolutely classic Tempier.

  Stored properly since purchase. Color is opaque and homogeneous purple brickish color. Nose is clean, fresh, fruity and inviting. Tannins are resolved. Taste is full and fruity but not heavy. The wine shows both some age and also some youth. Quite interesting and unusual in that respect. Lots of sediment. This was a very good drink. Wine was consistent over a couple hours and held up strongly but did not get even better over time.
