93 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "Not included in the blind tasting at the local syndicat, Tempier's 2021 Bandol Rose nevertheless looked good when I tasted it at the estate. It's a very fine, elegant example of Bandol rosé, with notes of passion fruit and pink grapefruit leading the way in a tightly knit, medium-bodied package that adds promising hints of white peach and anise on the lingering finish. Drink: 2022-2024. (Aug 2022)"

93 points Fine Wine Review: "My first experience drinking Tempier rosé was about forty years ago, and I can tell you as one who regularly sampled each new release, this is easily the finest I can remember. Usually, it takes a couple of years for the wine to begin to open up, but this one features intense, well-defined wild strawberry fruit, very good acidic support, and plenty of nervosity in a medium-light body. Cork closure. 13% stated alcohol. (6/21/22)"
