Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Mourvedre Blend

Aromas of leather, tree bark and black fruits. A rich and powerful ultra savoury wine with ripe black fruits, a dash of black pepper and fading raspberry- silky intensity. Works perfectly with BBQ Lamb Chops. Still going strong at 18 years from a good year in Bandol. The following night - consistent notes. Predominantly Mourvèdre in the blend together with Grenache and Cinsault I believe but not sure of the exact percentages. In 2004 it was 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache.

Caught this in a great spot. Intact and developed fruit, complex and harmonious aged Bandol notes. The brett is quite integrated and noticeable in the slight tight and metallic finish. Soaked black cherries, stewed black plums, leather, animal hide, dried herbs, woodsmoke, cinnamon, cloves, pepper,

Been a while.

16.5/20 (91/100) Аромат с нотами окисления (возможно, бутылка слишком долго простояла в эноматике): кожа, яблоко, вишня, малина, брусничное варенье, ваниль и шампиньоны. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, чуть суховатыми танинами. Вкус соответствует аромату.

Our introduction to a well-aged (but not old) Tempier. A seductive wine from older Mourvèdre vines, one of the great wines of the world. No wine-lover should miss this standout which defines a region so beautifully.

On its way to greatness.

In a good spot, tannins resolved and mulberry fruitiness with garrigue
