Domaine Tempier, Bandol Cuvée Spéciale 2004

Twenty years on.

Ruby. Clove, griotte, and lavender mingle on the nose. Has some grain to it and precision to its upright posture. The palate is supple and red-fruited and seasoned with herbs de Provence, shows a more prominent garrigue streak. Late bit of huckleberry jam, a spot of oil on the end, laced in tobacco and mineral. Last bottle on a case. Now.
