DOMAINE TEMPIER Bandol Lulu & Lucien 2023

WS: 92

A burst of fragrant violet and dried lavender introduces this layered, fresh red. Shows textural complexity, with finely hewn tannins that will go the distance in the cellar; try to resist the urge to drink this now. There’s beautiful purity to the fruit, detailed with singed sage, thyme and rosemary. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan. Best from 2027 through 2038. 1,100 cases imported.
