However, a hearty finish full of Mourvèdre tannin guarantees a long and prosperous future for those who prefer to wait.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck (2023 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Lulu et Lucien cuvée is, for me, the finest gateway into the wines of Domaine Tempier, as it synthesizes the appellation, and this 2023 Bandol Lulu et Lucien is a wine of serious, ample body built on round and suave tannins.
