Bought a case 30 years ago. This wine defines so many beliefs of mine after 40 plus years a vintner. Still talks to you. — 2 months ago

Really chewy tannins for the age with this producer, but it eventually settled down w some air. Seemed much more like the structure of its Kermit cousin at Tempier vs what I expect from younger Gros Nore bottlings. Pleasantly surprised. This could go another 10 years easily. — 6 months ago

13.5% ABV Salute to Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier in France. Lulu’s father owned the vineyard , and she along with her husband took it over. Sadly we lost her in October 2020 at the age of 102 y/o. This is a blend of old vine Mataro and Grenache. Light salmon color, watermelon initially , later apple. Very nice! — 11 days ago

Way more elegant than I was expecting. Dark fruit, roasted coffee, leather. Firing right out of the bottle. Very good. — 7 months ago

So much going on in this glass! Iron, barnyard, garrigue, black cherry, plum, leather, moist soil, dried flowers and herbs, spice, anise, and cocoa powder. A beautiful wine!

First Hummingbird April 27th! Earliest sighting for me! — a month ago

The vintage shows through. The ripeness pushes toward baked in the fruit character somewhat, but its pliant nature make it approachable now. Roasted cherry and baked plum, dusty leather, reduction (oxtail), cured game, white pepper, tar, fur. Love some young Migoua 😸 — 4 months ago

Aromas of ripe plum and black cherry together with earth lavender and thyme. Love the garrigue perfume - I could smell this for hours. Medium weight palate - very savoury with same notes coming through with fine grained tannins. A certain bitter note to the tannins which was not unwelcome. Polished rusticity - if that makes sense. Of the 3 individual Cuvées I agree that Cabassaou might be (marginally) considered the best. I must seek out more of these Tempier Cuvées and bury them in the cellar for a decade. — 6 months ago
