Tempier Bandol Rosé 2023 1.5L

93 points & '#55 Top 100 Wines of 2024' Wine Spectator: "Aromatically complex and seductive, this complex rosé offers waves of red berry and chalky mineral notes from start to finish. Still tightly wound, with pink grapefruit acidity driving its energy and elegance. Hints of smoke and fresh chives hover over the long finish alongside a dusting of fleur de sel. Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault. Drink now through 2028. (Jul 2024)"

93 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "As always, this estate crafted one of the most perfumed and complex rosé wines in France. The 2023 Bandol Rose exhales aromas of spring flowers, guava, lemon, spices and iodine mingled with delicate licorice hints. Medium-bodied, textural and layered, it’s perfectly balanced with a fleshy core of fruit and bright acids, concluding with a long, mineral and iodine-inflected finish. Kudos! Drink 2024-2034 (Jul 2024)"

93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$65/750ml list] Wonderfully perfumed, the 2023 Rosé entices with orange oil, nectarines, crushed wild berries and savory herbs. Rich and broad yet with a stimulating core of acidity, this plays a game of contrasts on the palate, mixing citrus-laced green melon with zesty spice and crisp mineral tones. A cascade of rosy inner florals fills the senses, as a resonance of white peach and a zest of lime keep the mouth salivating. Glorious today yet also gently tannic, the 2023 is a showstopper. Drink: 2024-2029. (May 2024)"
