Tempier’s 2017 Bandol Rose continues to drink well. A blend of 55% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache and 20% Cinsault, it offers entrancing aromas of crushed stone, peach and raspberry on the nose. On the palate, it’s silky, medium-bodied and intense, with plenty of bright, zesty lime on the long finish. My original blind-tasting notes include the query, “Too fruity?” but in retrospect, I suspect this just bodes well for the wine’s potential longevity for those who like to cellar them.
