The Wine:
"The aroma is unmistakable. The electric burst of citrus, delicate notes of rhubarb and peach, and raspy suggestions of anise and wild thyme are not just textbook Bandol; they are signature Tempier. That herbaceous bite gives it verve in its youth and the backbone to age like few other rosés can. A saline sensation accents its savoury character, alluding to sparkly Mediterranean waters close by. Tempier’s rosé, fifty years later, remains a benchmark for the region and the style. The taste is just what it always has been: a liquid incarnation of Provence that satisfies without fail each time the cork is pulled. Now that’s pretty cool." - Anthony Lynch, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchants
