Our Notes: Domaine Tempier rose likely needs no introduction, but the reds of the estate should demand special attention, particularly from the La Tourtine vineyard. Mostly mourvedre, backed by equal parts grenache and cinsault, it produces the most muscular and age-worthy cuvee of the lineup. Dark-fruited, savory and mineral, this is a powerful and sublime example of Bandol, in all its earthy glory. The Cuvee Speciale is only produced in exceptional vintages. Reviews: 91 points Wine Advocate, "The outstanding 1990 Bandol-La Tourtine reveals a black-raspberry/cherry, earthy, spicy, herb-scented nose, deep, concentrated, moderately tannic, full-bodied flavors, and an austere yet rich, powerful finish.
