Domaine Tempier
Lulu & Lucien Bandol Red Blend
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose with red fruits and wild flowers.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This tasty red Bandol from the great 2022 vintage, is starting to drink very nicely now. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and fresh.
This Single Vineyard Mourvedre is easy drinking, and better with some airtime. Showing nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
A blend of 75% Mourvedre, 14% Grenache, 9% Cinsault and 2% Syrah and Carignan. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$65.
