Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge

There is something about the dark, inky Mourvèdre, plus the salty sea air caressing the vines every night, that typifies classic Bandol. This wine is complete, and ready to serve cooled down a touch. The blend here is 75% Mourvèdre, 14% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, and 2% Carignan. 'Aromas of dark fruit with plums, blackberries and some iron and black cherries. Bark, too. Full to medium body with concrete undertones to the dark fruit. Delicate center palate, but finishes creamy and flavorful with light chewiness and dusty texture. Drink now.' - James Suckling - 91 points
