Tasting note
Domaine Tempier's 2018 Bandol Rosé should offer Mourvèdre aromas of red berry, citrus peel and dried herbs, with a floral hint. Expect a savory, finely textured palate, fresh acidity brightening the fruit and gentle tannins giving it a light grip. The wine has moved beyond its 2021 to 2024 peak but remains in the drinking range to 2028. A dry finish should linger with berry, herbs and a subtle mineral impression.
