2018 -Vintage - not nearly as good as the Carignan -wild fruit, blackberry fruit, rose petal medium to medium plus acidity, ABV is 14.5% on the label and while I’ve had lots of Zinfandels at 14.5 % being balanced this seems out of joint ( noticeable ) — 2 days ago

2014 - Vintage Domaine Tempier “La Tourtine” 80%-Mourvedre 10%-Grenache 10%-Cinsault ( no Carignan in this wine) red rim mediums red color, a lot of other than fruit aromas earth,mushroom, sage, undergrowth, black fruit beautifully presented with medium tannins softening nicely. This is out of a magnum ( good time to start drinking but definitely some time left) they have different names on the label signifying different blends this is the La Tourtine but they also have “La Migoua” and just a Bandol with no designation label says 11%-14% ( I bet on the 14%) — a month ago

2023- Vintage - “Vin De France” I believe this is made from Gamay (white wine) it does seem to have a Gamay quality in the nose stone fruit and a fatter mouthfeel - maybe other varietals but really nice wine — a month ago
